Chocolate Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

I swiped this from my friend Heather – how stinking cute are these? I remember seeing them in a past issue of Family Fun magazine as well but didn’t think to keep the article. Yay, internet!

These would be great to have the kids do on Turkey Day to keep them entertained for a bit.

Chocolate Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

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

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.
