🛒 Ingredients

Oreo biscuits (or any large round biscuits)
Marshmallows
White chocolate
Milk chocolate
Green oil based food colouring
Shamrock sprinkles (optional)

Assorted treats on a wooden table: chocolate bars, marshmallows in a pink bag, an Oreo pack, and green sprinkles in black packaging.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Leprechaun Hat Treats

Step 1

Line a tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Split the Oreo biscuits in half and place them onto the tray (cream side up works best).

Sixteen chocolate cookies with cream on brown paper, arranged on a wooden table. Some extra cookies visible in the background.

Step 3

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each burst until fully melted.

Step 4

Add a couple of drops of green oil based food colouring to the melted chocolate and stir it in. Add a couple of drops at a time until you get your desired colour.

Step 5

Add a small amount of melted white chocolate to the bottom of each marshmallow and place it on top of a biscuit to form the hat shape.

White and pink marshmallows on chocolate cookie bases arranged on parchment paper. The mood is light and playful.

Step 6

Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to set and secure the marshmallow to the biscuit.

Step 7

Insert a wooden skewer into the top of each marshmallow. Dip the whole marshmallow into the melted chocolate until fully covered. Gently shake off any excess and place back onto the lined tray.

Repeat until all hats are coated in chocolate

Step 10

While they are setting, melt the milk chocolate (again in 20-second bursts) and transfer it into an icing bag.

Step 11

Remove the hats from the fridge and pipe a chocolate band around each one to look like a leprechaun hat band.

Add a shamrock sprinkle before the chocolate sets.
