Yes, it's an edible Mr Hankey. Why? It's a long story. Just... just go with it, OK?

Break the pretzel sticks down to somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of their length. Push the broken end into the candy bar at an angle, about 2/3 the way up.
Note: I made the mistake of doing this using a cold candy bar and the chocolate flaked off a bit. Might help to warm it up first.
Put a small blob of white fondant (dampened a bit) where each of the eyes will go.
Push a candy eye onto each blob.
Roll out some white fondant, cut out a triangle, and shape it into a mouth.

Put a blob of white fondant on the end of each pretzel stick and shape into a mitten.
Roll out some red fondant, shape it into a cone and squish it onto the head, bending it to one side.
Roll some white fondant into a "snake" and wrap it around the base of the hat.
Add a blob of white fondant for a pom pom.
That's it! You're done. Now, just do that a dozen more times and you're all set.
