Spoon out small piles of cocoa rice cereal, makes about 13, when they are cool enough to handle put oil on your hands and shape into boat shapes.

I tried the candy cover sticks but didn’t work well for me so I used skewers cut in half for the sail.

I used a chop stick to poke the candy stick in boat base but I liked using the skewers better.

I bought these wood anchor and crab shapes at Michaels and then I painted them and I added button and Bakers Twine to the anchor and hot glued them on.
