Ingredients
Cookies
- Chocolate chip cookies – 6, cut in half
Frostings
- Red frosting – 1/2 cup
- Chocolate frosting (optional) – 1/4 cup
Teeth and Fangs
- Mini marshmallows – 24
- Slivered almonds – 24 pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie bases: Cut the chocolate chip cookies in half carefully to create the top and bottom parts of your ‘dentures’. Each cookie half will act as either the upper or lower jaw.
- Apply red frosting: Spread a generous layer of red frosting onto the flat side of each cookie half. This will simulate the gums and help the marshmallows stick.
- Add the marshmallow teeth: Line up small, round mini marshmallows along the curved edge of one cookie half, placing them close together to represent the vampire teeth.
- Sandwich the halves: Gently place the second cookie half, flat side down, on top of the marshmallow-covered half. Press lightly to close the sandwich and secure the marshmallows in place.
- Insert the fangs: Carefully insert slivered almonds between the marshmallows to resemble sharp vampire fangs, creating a dramatic effect.
- Optional finishing touch: If desired, spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting over the outside of the dentures to give them a more realistic and polished appearance.
- Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. These spooky treats make for a delightful Halloween party snack that’s both fun to make and eat.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate chip cookies, but sturdier ones work best to hold the structure.
- The red frosting is essential for the ‘gums’ look; you can also use colored cream cheese frosting as an alternative.
- Slivered almonds are sharp; handle with care when inserting to avoid breakage.
- These treats are best served fresh for optimal marshmallow texture; chilling can slightly firm up the frosting and cookies.
- Feel free to get creative with other decorative candies to add a spooky twist.
