Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- toothpicks or lollipop sticks
Ingredients
- 18 large marshmallows
- 18 Fudge Stripe cookies
- 12 oz green chocolate melting wafers
- 4 oz yellow fondant or yellow fruit leather
- black edible marker or black decorating gel
- green sanding sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange cookies fudge-side down, spaced evenly.
- Melt green chocolate wafers in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Insert a toothpick halfway into each marshmallow for dipping.
- Dip each marshmallow fully into melted chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place onto the center of a cookie base.
- Sprinkle with green sanding sugar while chocolate is still wet, if using. Let set at room temperature 15–20 minutes.
- Roll out yellow fondant and cut strips to wrap around the base of each marshmallow. Secure ends with a dab of melted chocolate.
- Cut small buckle squares from fondant and attach to front of band. Draw buckle detail with black edible marker or gel.
- Allow decorations to set completely before removing toothpicks and serving.
Notes
Use candy melts instead of regular chocolate for the smoothest coating and easiest setting. Do not refrigerate, as condensation can dull the chocolate. Assemble up to 3 days in advance and store at room temperature in an airtight container.
