Crumble portion of the cake with SNICKERS Fun Size (you should have 3 cups). Reserve remaining cake for another use.

In large bowl, combine cake crumbles, cream cheese and remaining chopped SNICKERS Fun Size until dough starts to form. Shape into twelve 1 1/2-inch balls; transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Using thumb and fingertips, shape each ball into helmet shape. Freeze for about 15 minutes or until firm.
