This 4th of July holiday I've decided to change things up a bit. No burgers, hot dogs or ribs. Anyone can
offer those. Instead, my guests are going to be served something a bit more exotic... Bald Eagles!
Send your family's taste buds soaring with a nest of these bald eagle treats. To make half a dozen, follow the recipe below.
Edible Bald Eagles
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips
- 6 large marshmallows
- Finely shredded coconut
- Chocolate sandwich cookie (we used a chocolate-covered Oreo)
- 6 Cashews
- Black decorators' gel
Instructions:
- Melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips according to the package directions.
- For each bird, drop a large marshmallow into the melted chocolate chips, using a spatula to coat it well.
- Remove the marshmallow from the white chocolate and roll it in finely shredded coconut, leaving one end uncovered.
- Immediately set the marshmallow, coconut free end down, atop a chocolate sandwich cookie.
- Let the chocolate set a bit, then use a toothpick to make a hole in the side of the marshmallow and insert a cashew for a beak.
- Finally, add black decorators' gel eyes.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
