Anyone Know How To Mold 3D Character Out Of Rice Krispie's??

I want to make a 3D elmo sitting on a cake like I saw in a picture. The lasy who ordered wants to keep the Elmo, so I thought I'd make him from rice krispies and royal icing...
has anyone molded with rice krispies before and have tips or tricks??
and is there a certain recipe I should follow??
TIA!
I"ve only molded RC a few times, but found out the hard way, let them cool to room temp before doing any shaping. When it's warm it will just be gooey. I also spray my hands w/ Pam. Also use a little less MM and a bit more RC for detailed molding. So it won't spread when unmolded.
HTH
thanks, i never thought of that...
should i let it cool down all the way??? will it move after that?? or should i let it cool partially so it's still workable??
depending on how big you want elmo - you may need to make an armature out of tin foil - or a coat hanger - I agree with less marshmallow (for scultping I use the 10 oz bag to 6 cups crispies instead of the 16 ox bag) - if it gets too cool to mold with you can warm it up in the mocrowave to make it more workable - it also needs to be packed pretty dense - let it dry at least overnight at room temp before coving in any icing - that way any shifting that might occur will have already....
