Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package confectioners' coating (such as Wilton Candy Melts)

  • 12 marshmallows

  • 1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut

  • 12 mint sandwich cookies (such as Oreo)

  • 12 whole cashews

  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Place white confectioners' coating in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.

  2. Insert 1 toothpick into each marshmallow; dip into melted white coating, then roll in coconut and place each on 1 sandwich cookie. Cut a slit in each coated marshmallow where the beak should go using kitchen shears; place 1 cashew into slit.

  3. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Draw a dot with a line over it with melted chocolate using a toothpick on each side of each eagle's head for the eyes.
