Spoon the remaining chocolate into a Ziploc bag and cut a tiny corner off the bag. Carefully (this is a good job for the grown up) dot each Mento with chocolate, making the eyes. Allow the owls to cool completely--you can pop them in the fridge or freezer if you need to and they'll be done in no time.
I popped these suckers into a wooden basket filled with floral foam and basket filler. It looks kind of like a little nest, don't you think?
Well, that's it! I hope you guys have enjoyed Kids Week as much as we have! Don't be too sad, though--if you've been with us for over a year, you know that we're just BEGINNING to kick off our favorite time of the year and we have lots of fun tricks up our sleeves for this fall and the upcoming holiday season!
Recipe by Our Best Bites
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbsp. canola oil
Peppermint Mentos
Candy corn
Supplies:
Long lollipop sticks
Wax paper
If making Rice Krispy Treats, be sure to line the pan with greased wax paper. When they have set up, you can just pull out the wax paper, making your life infinitely easier!
Using a heavy-duty round cookie cutter, cut desired number of circles out of the Rice Krispy Treats. If usingOreos, carefully insert a lollipop stick about halfway into the cream filling. Set aside.
In a 9" pie plate, combine the chocolate chips and oil. Heat on high for about 2 minutes or until the chocolate is smooth and liquid, stirring every 30 seconds.
Dip each treat/cookie into the chocolate and twirl to remove the excess chocolate. Insert a lollipop stick halfway into the dipped Rice Krispy treat. Place dipped treats onto a sheet of greased wax paper.
Place 2 Mentos on each "owl" for eyes and a candy corn for a beak. Spoon a few tablespoons of remaining chocolate into a Ziploc bag and cut off a tiny corner. Dot each Mento to make an eye. Allow to cool and harden--you can place them in the fridge or freezer to hurry things along.
