Penguin Marshmallow Treats

Ingredients

1 bag of Jumbo marshmallows
1 bag of Ghiradelli milk chocolate melting wafers
1 package of small edible eyes
2 boxes of Mike and Ike’s
Cookie sheet fitted with parchment or wax paper

Directions

Using a double boiler, melt your chocolate.
Mix your chocolate randomly until melted.

Take a marshmallow and, using your fingers, dip the marshmallow into the chocolate about 1/4 of the way.
Turn the marshmallow to the side and dip it into the chocolate about 1/4 of the way.

Repeat with the other side, and make sure you don’t dip too far into the chocolate. You want to make sure there is a square of marshmallow that isn’t dipped for the penguin’s tummy.
Lightly shake the marshmallow so that excess chocolate can fall off.
Place marshmallows onto the parchment paper.
Repeat the steps until most of the chocolate has been used.
Place penguins into the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Once they have hardened, pull them out.
Using a toothpick, dip into the remaining chocolate.
Dap the toothpick onto the back of the edible eye to act as glue.
Place the eye onto the middle part of the chocolate that acts as the penguin’s forehead.
Repeat the step with the second eye.
Take an orange Mike and Ike and cut the bottom part off.
Dip the bottom of the top of the Mike and Ike into the chocolate and place it under the eyes of the penguins.
Repeat steps for remaining penguins

Once done, place it back into the fridge for another 10 minutes before enjoying it.

In conclusion, these penguin marshmallow treats are both delicious and easy to make. With only a few simple ingredients, you can have a fun, and festive treat that the whole family will love. So what are you waiting for? Get in the kitchen and start making it!
