After taking them out of the freezer, we dipped one side in chocolate to attach to the cookie. This is where we failed. We should have dipped the chocolate covered marshmallows in the green chocolate then dipped them in the green sugar. Our attempt to make a shamrock failed also. It was all in fun and if you want to try and make them yourself, we would suggest taking a bit more time than we did. H...
