Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

Here's a treat that looks old-fashioned but is made with two favorite modern-day sweets: marshmallows and chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 24 chocolate-striped shortbread cookies
  • 12-ounce package of chocolate chips
  • 24 marshmallows
  • tube of yellow decorators' frosting

Instructions

  1. Set the chocolate-striped cookies stripes down on a wax-paper-covered tray, spacing them well apart.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler.
  3. One at a time, stick a wooden toothpick into a marshmallow, dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate, and promptly center it atop a cookie.
  4. Using a second toothpick to lightly hold down the marshmallow, carefully pull out the first toothpick.
  5. Chill the hats until the chocolate sets, then pipe a yellow decorators' frosting buckle on the front of each hat.
