Delicious as they are cute, these little hats would be the perfect addition to any St. Patty’s Day dessert table.  A Fudge Stripe Cookie base is topped with a marshmallow and then coated in chocolate to create one delicious little s’more hat!  Easy enough for your little leprechauns to help make too (if you don’t mind gooey hands!).

Let’s take a peek inside, shall we?

LEPRECHAUN HAT S’MORES
a DIY by Carrie Sellman

Ingredients:

  •  Keebler® Fudge Stripes™ Cookies
  •  Large Marshmallows
  •  Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
  •  Green Candy Melts
  •  Green Sprinkles or Green Cake Sparkles

STEP 1 :   Melt dark chocolate candy in the microwave, in 30 second intervals on 50% power.  Stir after each heating.  Repeat until completely melted.  Dip Fudge Stripe Cookies into chocolate, coating completely.  Shake off any excess.  Set on parchment paper, top side down, until candy coating is completely set.

STEP 2 :  Using a toothpick, dip marshmallow into chocolate and coat almost entirely.  Shake off any excess.  Set on parchment paper, until candy coating is completely set.  Remove toothpick.

STEP 3 :  Melt green candy just as you did the chocolate.  Flip marshmallow upside down and insert new toothpick in top.  Dip into green candy, just barely, to create a small band of green around the bottom.

STEP 4 :  Coat green candy band with sprinkles or sparkles. Shake off excess.

STEP 5 :  Place marshmallow in center of chocolate covered cookie.  Carefully remove toothpick.  Touch up the toothpick hole with a small dab of melted chocolate, if desired.

STEP 6 :  Spoon some of the remaining melted green candy into a piping bag, ziplock bag or squeeze bottle.  On parchment paper, make three small dots of candy in the shape of a triangle.  Each dot should be about the size of a chocolate chip.  Using a toothpick, swirl the three dots together to form a shamrock shape.  Swirl the bottom two dots together first, then the top dot.  Pull toothpick straight down to form the stem.  Before candy hardens, cover with sprinkles or crushed cake sparkles.  Once shamrocks have set up, dust off excess sparkle.

STEP 7 :  To finish the hat, attach a glittering shamrock with a small dab of melted green.

Your finished treats can be stored for several days in an airtight container, at room temperature. Whether your family heritage goes back to Ireland or not… we’re all Irish on March 17th!  So get your green on and whip up some of these yummy Leprechaun Hat S’mores for your little munchkins! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    I plan on using Girl Scout thin mint cookies as the base for our party this weekend. Give them a mint twist. Thanks, these are darling!

      These are so cute. I’m doing mine with Thin Mints, too! Thank goodness for Girl Scouts cookie season! Saves us a step.

    Can you tell me how much of each ingredient you bought and how many hats it makes?

    • Carrie Sellman says

      March 16, 2018 at 8:06 am

      Great question Lesley! I’m so sorry that I didn’t write down specifics on the quantities. This post is 6 years old now, can you believe it? But I can help you think through it…
       
      One box of fudge stripe cookies contains 24. One bag of the marshmallows contains more than 24. You really don’t use much of the green candy melts or green cake sparkles, so one of each will be more than enough. Really, the only variable is the dark chocolate candy melts. I would purchase two or three bags knowing that I could return any unopened bags. I’d rather make a return trip after the 17th than have to run out for more chocolate in the middle of the project. All of this should be enough to make 24 hats.
       
      My daughter wants to make these again this year… so I will update the post with quantities after we do!

      Sorry on my last comment I wrote that my friend wasn’t a professional chef but I meant that she was. Sorry just a little typo. Oh and I’m not trying to hate. It’s just my opinion 🤗
