These faces are so cute I wanted to make them straightaway after seeing the photos and the recipe posted by Happy Home Baker. During the preparation process, the only problem I faced was the chocolate rice. The tiny pieces became soft and sticky after a while, making it difficult to be picked up. My children couldn't decide if the cookies looked like doggie, bear or mickey mouse. But exclaimed "soooo cute" when they first saw them. I think my cookies look like bears.
