Marshmallow Toadstools
1 bag large marshmallows
1 bag dark or milk chocolate chips
1 bag white chocolate chips, or vanilla frosting (for decorating)
nutella or peanut butter
green food dye
vanilla wafers
In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Take out the marshmallows and arrange them in rows in a cookie tray. For each marshmallow, take one vanilla wafer and apply nutella or peanut butter to the flat side. Place one cookie atop each marshmallow and stick the tray in the freezer for ~1 hour. This will make them easier to handle.
In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate.Take the marshmallows out of the freezer and cover each in chocolate. Once finished, set back on the cookie tray and freeze for ~1 hr. or over night.
Either melt the white chocolate, add food coloring, and drizzle atop the toadstools or mix dye into frosting and pipe designs on the candies. Let harden in the refrigerator and use as decorations on a cake or as stand-alone treats at your next Halloween party!
