Equipment
- 1 Double Boiler
- 1 Cookie Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 1 bag Jiffy jumbo marshmallows
- 1 bag Ghiradelli milk chocolate melting wafers
- 1 package small edible eyes
- 2 Boxes Mike and Ike’s
Instructions
- 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 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.
- Dab 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 under the eyes on the penguins.
- Repeat steps for remaining penguins.
- Once done, place it back into the fridge for another 10 minutes before enjoying it.
