large marshmallows
mini candy canes, cut the stick off so you have half a circle (handle)
Kraft marshmallow bits*
chocolate icing, I used the kind in a tube
vanilla icing, I used the kind in a tube
Place cookies on cookie sheet. Use vanilla icing to attach marshmallow to cookie. Place a small dab of vanilla icing on the ends of candy cane handles and push them into the large marshmallow. (Placing icing on the handles, before inserting inside the marshmallow, will allow the treats to be picked up by the handle, as the icing will dry inside the marshmallow.) Squeeze a small amount of chocolate icing on top of the large marshmallow. Spread it around with a knife if needed. Place 3 marshmallow bits on top of chocolate icing. Allow to dry. These make cute treats for parties or gifts.
*Kraft marshmallow bits may be discontinued now, as I have not been able to find them in stores or online in over a year. The Kraft website doesn't list them as being discontinued, but it may be with the pandemic that they were unavailable. I just made 2-3 small white dots with the vanilla icing in 2021 and they turned out just as cute!
**Other candies and cookies can be used if you desire. Sometimes I use iced oatmeal cookies or vanilla wafers. But I really like the scalloped edge to the butter cookies when I can find them, they are sometimes hard to find. If you don't want to use the peppermint candy cane, you could use a mini pretzel instead. Anything that would create a handle.
