When crafting your Lollipop Monsters, feel free to substitute candies based on availability or personal preference.

- Cut the tops off of two small green gumdrops for the shoulders and attach them where the sour green candies meet the large green gumdrop.
- For the legs, take the two cut small green gumdrops, turn them upside down, apply sugar glue, and attach them to the bottom of the large black gumdrop.
- Attach the two soft licorice drops as feet using sugar glue on the cut portions of the small green gumdrop legs.
- For the face, take the remaining small green gumdrop and attach the green coated licorice mini to the top.
- Press two small white sprinkles into the small green gumdrop for the eyes.
- Cut a small half-inch piece of the red shoestring licorice for the mouth and attach it to the small green gumdrop face with sugar glue.
