Ingredients
1 pack of Marie biscuits (or whatever plain bikkies your kids like)
Some desiccated coconut
Icing sugar
Pink marshmallows, cut in half
Black food colouring
Chocolate covered almonds (or if your kids are too little for nuts, try dates or sultanas)
Candy decorations (eyes, bow ties, lips etc)
Method
The only thing you actually have to ‘make’ for this recipe is the icing.
1. Measure out a couple of cups of icing sugar (you don’t really need to be precise).
2. Pop in a teeny drop of black colouring (you want the icing to turn out grey).
3. Add water to the icing mix a teaspoon at a time, until it’s smooth and a little runny.
4. Spread the icing onto the biscuit.
5. Sprinkle with coconut.
6. Roll the sides of the cut marshmallows in icing then in coconut, before placing them onto the iced bikkie.
7. Add eyes, almond nose and any other cute decorations you have. Let the kids go crazy!
8. Eat!
