    For Spring Chicks: Use photo as a guide. Unroll fruit flavored snack; remove paper. Cut Red/Yellow fruit flavored snack in half, separating the red and yellow. Place marshmallow on yellow half of fruit flavored strip, and wrap around so marshmallow is covered, leaving a little extra to gather at top of marshmallow. Press open ends of fruit flavored snack together to cover marshmallow. Gather excess fruit flavored strip at top; pinch together. Using small kitchen scissors, cut strips to make feathers at top. Cut small diamond shape from red fruit flavored strip, and attach to front to make a beak. Attach pretzel twist for feet and 2 candy eyeballs using small amount of white frosting.
