Kid Friendly Thanksgiving Treat: Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

The kids will have a good time getting their hands dirty helping with this one.



Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats

24 chocolate-striped shortbread cookies
12-ounce package of chocolate chips
24 marshmallows (large)
Tube of yellow decorator’s frosting
Wooden toothpicks

Set the chocolate-striped cookies on a tray covered with wax paper, stripes down. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. 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. Use a second toothpick to lightly hold down the marshmallow and carefully pull out the first toothpick.

Chill the hats until the chocolate sets, then pipe a yellow decorators' frosting buckle (a square shape) on the front of each hat. (Source: FamilyFun.com)
