Time 25m

Yield 12 pigs

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large marshmallows
12 mini marshmallows
200 g dark chocolate (cooking)
50 g Copha (oppt, makes the dipping easier and gives a shinier finish)
24 rainbow chocolate chips (or mini M&M's)
1 white chocolate baking square
24 pieces sliced almonds (or one ice cream wafer)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate and copha together.
  • Meanwhile, with scissors or hot knife, make a cut in the "rounded" part of the large marshmallow.
  • Insert 2 almond flakes, small point upwards (ears).
  • OR (for nut free) cut your ice cream wafers into small triangles and use them for ears.
  • Dip the end of the small marshmallow into the choc and position on lower half of the "top" of the large marshmallow.
  • Allow to set, (in fridge, about 10 minutes).
  • Using any method you prefer, (skewers, dipper, forks etc.) coat the entire pig face into the chocolate, let drip a little, then position on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
  • Allow to set, about an hour.
  • Re-melt the remaining chocolate and use tweezers to dip the "eyes" into the chocolate and position above the nose. Wipe tweezers between uses.
  • Melt your tiny amount of white chocolate and using a toothpick, give your pig nostrils.
  • If your really arty, you can give them curly tails on the back of the creation!
