   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.
