Pilgrim Hats

I'm sure you have seen these pilgrim hat treats before.  T and C love them.  R doesn't really like marshmallows.  Actually, she doesn't really like sweets.  She likes the idea of sweets, but one or two bites is usually enough for her.  She has a very sophisticated palate. 

Anyway, to make the pilgrim hats, I place Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies upside down on a plate.  Then, I melt chocolate (I used chocolate chips and followed the melting directions on the package) and roll large marshmallows in it until they are covered.  I place one chocolate covered marshmallow on each cookie and then stick a yellow m&m candy on each hat (this is the buckle).  I usually stick them in the fridge for about fifteen minutes because it speeds up the hardening of the chocolate.  Sometimes (like today), I wait until the chocolate is hard and stick the candy on with a tiny bit of frosting.  That way the candy stays yellow instead of getting chocolate smudges all over it.
