Candy melts...  I have a mold which allows for the dots on Minnie's bow.  I purchased it at my local cake product supplier.

You can use red fruit roll ups, there is information on pinterest. I hope this helps

AI used pink starburst candy which I molded into bows with mini Oreos for the ears for my granddaughters cupcakes.
