  • Several drops of Red food coloring

Directions

  1. VAMPIRE COOKIES: Cut cookies into halves and set aside.
  2. Place frosting into a bowl and mix in several drops of red food coloring to create a deep red.
  3. Pipe the red frosting on the inside of the cookie halves.
  4. While cookie is still upside down with the inside facing up with the piped frosting, place marshmallows on top of the red frosting to mimic a “teeth” pattern of a mouth.
  5. Add two almond silvers in the middle of the teeth for vampire look.
  6. Place other cookies half together forming a top and bottom cookie with the teeth in the middle.
  7. RED VELVET HOT COCOA: Place milk chocolate chips, whole milk, heavy cream, food coloring and red velvet cake mix into a saucepan. Cook over medium low heat, whisking constantly, until hot!
  8. If the consistency is too thick, add more milk until desired consistency is reached and rewarm in the microwave!
