Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating This was a very fun recipe to make and decorate. The peanut butter honey bees are delicious and a very sweet treat! Posted January 08, 2011 by Hollee Rating Very cute, but not easy to make look like this. When the peanut butter bodies were firm enough to mold, they were too firm to insert the almonds or noodles without the body crumbling or the other parts breaking. Next time I would suggest molding the bodies first, then warm slightly to soften before decorating, then chill before serving.
