A Dapper Mr. Frog

1. Form the rice treats into an egg-like shape approximately 6" high by 5" wide. Slightly flatten out the bottom just enough that it will sit flat on a table but keep the roundness around the belly. Slightly flatten out the top as well in order to later position the head. Patricia notes: After shaping it with your hands, it is helpful to roll it against a hard surface in order to compact it and to achieve an overall smooth surface. You may want to keep a 6" round cutout or cake board close so that when shaping you can periodically check to make sure the finished piece will fit onto the 6" "tree trunk." 2. Roll out a piece of white modeling chocolate large enough to cover the entire body, approximately 1/8"-1/4" thick. Smooth out the chocolate with the warmth of your hands to achieve a nice, sleek surface. The smoother the surface, the smoother the clothes will go on. Set aside in a cool area to firm up before starting to work on it again.
