Adding PHP to widgets

I’ve downloaded a plugin that requires that to my template, I add the code <? if (function_exists(‘chicklet_creator’)) { chicklet_creator(); } ?>

I’d prefer not to add it to my template. Is there not a way to add this to a widget and then just drag and drop the widget to where I want this code to appear.

I did try it but when I view my site, the plugin information did not display anything on my website.

Thank you for your help.
