One of the best ways to spend your spooky season is by using Sunny Snacks to
make fun and easy fall treats at home. If these
cute little treats interest you, they only need
these four ingredients:
1) Any of our Sunny Snack cookies (amount
depending upon serving size)
2) 1 1⁄2 cups of chocolate (any)
3) 1 cup heavy cream
4) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5) 1 jumbo marshmallow for teeth
From here follow these procedures to make the ganache:
1. Place coarsely chopped chocolate in a medium sized heat safe bowl and set
aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat bring the heavy cream to a boil. You
just want to get it to the point of a boil and then remove it from the heat as
soon as it does.
3. Pour the scalded heavy cream over the chocolate and let stand for 2-3
minutes undisturbed until chocolate has softened.
4. Slowly whisk the mixture until smooth and add the room temperature
butter. Whisk until butter is melted and incorporated.
5. Either add ganache to pastry bag or place plastic wrap directly on the surface
of the ganache and allow to cool at room temperature for 2-4 hours.
Next, follow these instructions to create the treat itself:
1. Match cookie pairs according to size. Put the first cookie face down. Pipe on
some ganache, making it thicker on one side. Place top cookie on ganache and press down on only one side to give the illusion of an open mouth.
2. Use additional ganache on top to make your eyes stick.
3. Cut out small teeth from the marshmallow. Get creative!
4. Store in an airtight container if not eaten right away.
And there you have it, a delicious halloween snack to munch on or hand out to
trick-or-treaters as this time of the year rolls around.
