America's National Bird

This is an idea I copied from pinterest (unfortunately, the site is no longer available for me to give proper credit to) and it turns out pretty cute! I used mini chocolate chips instsead of the black gel for the eyes, because, I prefer the taste of chocolate chips, don't you? The gel may look a little better, though.

To make:
12 large marshmallows (you can make more if you would like-just increase all ingredients)
2 squares of white chocolate bark
1 cup of shredded coconut
12 whole cashews
24 mini chocolate chips
12 oreo fudge creme cookies

Melt white chocolate bark in microwave, according to instructions on package. Roll each marshmallow in melted chocolate and then into coconut and place on top of cookie. Then, place one cashew in center of marshmallow for the beak and place two chips as eyes, using more melted chocolate as glue, if needed. Enjoy!



Happy Independence Day, America!
