Preheat oven to 325F. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Cut a 1-1/2-inch piece of straw; set aside to make hole in ornament. Unwrap and arrange candy on parchment paper in tree shape, using 1 candy in top row, 2 in center row and 3 in bottom row.
Bake 3 to 6 min. or until candies are melted.
Remove from oven. Make a hole, about 1/2 inch from the top, by pressing drinking straw into ornament, leaving in place until candy is cooled.
Cool completely before removing ornament from paper. Gently remove straw. Thread a 6- to 8-inch piece of shoestring licorice into the hole in tree to hang the ornament.
