Yummy chocolate marshmallow Pilgrims' hats are yummy for the tummy!
(Disney's Family Fun)

Whenever the grandchildren come over, I like to have something fun planned, and what could be more fun than making a yummy chocolate and marshmallow snack? Eating it, of course.

If you’re looking for easy-to-make after school treats, these no-bake chocolate marshmallow Pilgrim hats are fun, fast, and yummy.

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

Directions
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.
