The tale as old as time is now in state-of-the-art 3-D. The new version of Beauty and the Beast returns to theaters on January 13. Fans of the beautiful bookworm, Belle, and the tormented Beast can mark the occasion with these delicious duplicates of the film's enchanted rose.

Ingredients

• rolls of cherry or strawberry fruit candy AND green apple fruit candy, such as Fruit by the Foot

• frosted mini cupcakes

Instructions

1. To make one, unroll a piece of cherry or strawberry fruit candy, and divide it along the wavy perforated middle line.

2. Form the flower's center by rolling up one of the halves about 5 inches. Set the rolled strip, wavy side up, in the middle of a frosted mini cupcake, as shown.

3. Loosely wrap the remaining fruit strip around the flower's center, at a slight angle, until the rose is completed.

4. Cut leaf shapes from the wavy edge of a green apple fruit strip, as shown, then tuck the leaves under the rose.
