Toffee Rat Onna Stick - From Nanny Ogg'S Cookbook - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g white marzipan
    1 strawberry licorice bootlace (twizzler)
    6 ounces toffee icing
    16 ounces chocolate sprinkles
    1/4 cup black icing
    6 tablespoons white sugar
    4 tablespoons water
Preparation
    You will also need: brown thread (for non-edible whiskers- optional) and 4 toffee apple sticks.
    Break the Marzipan into 4 equal pieces and shape into rats.
    Trim the bootlace to size and insert appropriately for tails.
    Coat the bodies with a thin layer of toffee spread and roll them in the chocolate sprinkles to give the effect of fur.
    Use a small blob of icing for the eyes.
    If doing whiskers cut a few 5 cm lengths of thread and 'sew' them through the nose.
    Gently push a stick up each-- er, rat, making sure it is secure.
    It's all a bit dreadful, isn't it?.
    Bust still much better than using a real rat.
    In a heavy bottoms pan dissolve the sugar in the water and cook over a medium heat until it's golden brown (warning this gets very hot so be careful!).
    When it's ready turn off the heat and quickly coat each rat in it- do NOT use a pastry brush as it will melt!
    Place the rats in a cool dry place to set.
