Cookie & Candy Penguins

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 ounces chocolate bark, for candy-making
• 12 large marshmallows
• 6 chocolate malted milk balls
• 12 miniature chocolate chips
• 12 pieces candy corn
• 6 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (i.e. oreos)

Recipe

• 1 melt chocolate in microwave according to package directions.
• 2 dab chocolate onto the top of 6 marshmallows, and top each with one of the remaining 6.
• 3 leaving a vertical strip down the middle for the penguin's chest, dip the marshmallow pairs into the chocolate to create the body.
• 4 attach a chocolate malt ball with a dab of chocolate to the top of each chocolate-covered marshmallow pair - this is the head.
• 5 use two miniature chocolate chips for the eyes, "gluing" them on with a dab of chocolate (a toothpick is good for this) to the chocolate malt ball.
• 6 cut the tips off of the candy corn and use 6 of these tips for beaks.
• 7 separate the cream-filled cookies, trying to keep the cream only on one side.
• 8 cut the six cookie halves with no cream in half to make the wings. this is one of the trickiest parts, since they seem to want to break easily.
• 9 use a dab of chocolate to attach the wings on either side of each marshmallow pair. the cut-side should face front.
• 10 dab some chocolate on the remaining 6 cookie halves with the cream facing upwards and attach at the bottom of each marshmallow penguin.
• 11 attach the remaining orange and yellow cut pieces of candy corn as feet to the bottom of each marshmallow, and on top of the cookie.
