Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (18.25 ounces) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1.75 cups miniature marshmallows
- 48 slivered almonds (or pumpkin seeds or white gummy candy)
Decorative Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup vanilla frosting, tinted red
Instructions
- Craft chocolate chip cookies following preferred recipe, ensuring they are completely cooled and crisp.
- Carefully bisect each cookie horizontally, creating two symmetrical halves for the denture base.
- Apply a delicate crimson-hued vanilla frosting layer across the interior surface of cookie segments, creating a vibrant foundation.
- Strategically arrange white marshmallows along the curved cookie edge, mimicking dental rows with precise placement and gentle pressure.
- Position supplementary marshmallows behind initial dental arrangement for structural reinforcement and enhanced visual dimension.
- Gently crown each marshmallow-lined cookie half with its corresponding partner, slightly offsetting the top layer to reveal marshmallow “teeth.”
- Meticulously insert slivered almonds between marshmallow clusters, angling them to resemble sharp vampire fangs.
- Secure almond “fangs” with a dab of frosting if needed to prevent slipping.
- Refrigerate momentarily to stabilize the structural integrity of these ghoulish dental replicas.
- Present the spooky confection, ready to delight Halloween enthusiasts with its playful, haunting design.
Notes
- Choose soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies for easier cutting and shaping, ensuring the dentures look more realistic and hold together well.
- Adjust marshmallow placement carefully to create a mouth-like appearance, using slightly different sizes to add character and depth to the spooky treat.
- Experiment with alternative “fang” ingredients like white chocolate chips, candy corn, or pointed candy pieces if almonds are unavailable or for nut-free variations.
- Chill the assembled dentures briefly in the refrigerator to help set the frosting and marshmallows, making them more stable and easier to handle during serving.
