Ingredients:

6 to 8 large marshmallows

5 Tbsp. Unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa

3 Tbsp. granulated Sugar

1/3 cup water

4 cups milk

1 cup half-and-half (half cream, half milk)

Instructions:

Place 1 marshmallow horizontally on a work surface. Using a rolling pin

or soup can, flatten the marshmallow by rolling back and forth over it.

Using Halloween-themed mini cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cocoa, sugar and water.

Bring slowly to a boil, stirring, until the sugar and cocoa dissolve,

about 2 minutes. Add the milk and half-and-half and continue to cook,

stirring, until bubbles appear along the edges of the pan, about 5

minutes; do not allow to boil. Pour into mugs and garnish with the

marshmallow spooks. Serve immediately while the spooks hold their

shapes. Makes 6 cups.
