-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 bag large marshmallows
Vegetable spray for coating molds
Cornstarch for dusting molds
COATING OPTIONS
1 bag chocolate chips (6 ounces) -- melted with 1 tsp.
vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar -- tinted with food
coloring
1/2 cup freshly grated or canned coconut
1/2 cup nuts -- finely chopped
Mini chocolate chips -- unmelted
Candy sprinkles

Over medium-low heat melt marshmallows, stirring constantly. When mixture
is melted, pour into molds or open cookie cutters that have been sprayed
with vegetable spray and lightly dusted with cornstarch. If using sugar,
coconut, nuts, or mini-morsels, immediately sprinkle tops with them. When
mixtures have firmed slightly, remove molds or cutters and roll in more of
the coating. If dipping, allow marshmallows to cool completely before
dipping.

TO DIP
Melt chocolate pieces with vegetable shortening in a shallow dish in the
microwave on 50 percent power for 4 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove,
and keep mixture warm over bowl of hot water. Dip marshmallows one at a
time, using fork to allow mixture to drip back into bowl. Dry until set on
wire rack.

Makes 16 2-inch figures.
