- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 ounces chocolate bark, for candy-making
- 12 large marshmallows
- 6 chocolate malted milk balls
- 12 miniature chocolate chips
- 12 pieces candy corn
- 6 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (i.e. Oreos)
directions
- Melt chocolate in microwave according to package directions.
- Dab chocolate onto the top of 6 marshmallows, and top each with one of the remaining 6.
- Leaving a vertical white strip down the middle for the penguin's chest, dip the marshmallow pairs into the chocolate to create the body.
- Attach a chocolate malt ball with a dab of chocolate to the top of each chocolate-covered marshmallow pair - this is the head.
- Use two miniature chocolate chips for the eyes, "gluing" them on with a dab of chocolate (a toothpick is good for this) to the chocolate malt ball.
- Cut the white tips off of the candy corn and use 6 of these white tips for beaks.
- Separate the cream-filled cookies, trying to keep the white cream only on one side.
- Cut the six cookie halves with no cream in half to make the wings. This is one of the trickiest parts, since they seem to want to break easily.
- Use a dab of chocolate to attach the wings on either side of each marshmallow pair. The cut-side should face front.
- Dab some chocolate on the remaining 6 cookie halves with the cream facing upwards and attach at the bottom of each marshmallow penguin.
- Attach the remaining orange and yellow cut pieces of candy corn as feet to the bottom of each marshmallow, and on top of the cookie.

Starry, what a great idea! I thought these were a little time intensive, but they are so cute! :) The dipping is a bit hard, as you have to keep a part white and my fingers kept getting chocolate on them...I also found that using a serrated knife made cutting the Oreos in half much easier and neater! We will be making these for DS's classmates for Christmas! Thanks so much for sharing, Starrynews!
