1/2 cup powdered sugar
34 yellow candy-coated chocolate pieces
1 candy necklace

10 foil-wrapped chocolate coins
2 pieces red string licorice (6 inches each)

MICROWAVE chocolate and cream in large microwaveable bowl on MEDIUM (50%) 2 to 3 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1-1/2 min. Cool slightly. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating with electric mixer on high speed until mixture is well blended and of desired spreading consistency.

Scatter candies and some of the coins around cake as desired. Replace top of cake; spread with the remaining chocolate frosting to resemble a treasure chest.
