Cook Time:
A fun and easy christmas treat, a hit with kids and adults! I used "Giant buttons", "Rolo"s, "Matchmakers"
Directions:
1
Melt 2 chocolate coins in the microwave or in in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, until liquified.
2
Dip each cylindrical/round chocolate into the melted chocolate and 'glue' to the coins of chocolate, to look like tophats.
3
Sieve icing sugar and add to soft butter and hot water.
4
Mix slowly for 2 minutes, then fast, until light and creamy.
5
Spread buttercream over each cupcake, leaving a little over to 'glue' the hats on later.
6
Place a marshmallow in the middle of each cupcake.
7
Snap each chocolate stick in half and place into the cupcake for arms.
8
Pipe on a green scarf around the marshmallow.
9
Pipe on black eyes and red or orange nose and buttons (If it doesn't stick very well, slightly dampen the side of the marshmallow with a wet finger).
10
"Glue" on the tophat with remaining buttercream.

my son saw the picture on the recipe and wanted to take these for his class on his birthday...they turned out perfect!! Thanks! (We used pretzel sticks for the arms instead of chocolate sticks)
