How to add the buckle to the hats:
- Add the frosting tip to the decorative frosting tube. (I use one that is a small circle.)
- Press gently onto the frosting tube and draw a line around the edge of the marshmallow (where it sits on the cookie). Add a small square to the front.
Notes
Melting the chocolate chips:
To melt the chocolate chips in the microwave: Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds and stir. If more time is needed to melt the chocolate, do 15 second increments, stirring after each one, until the chocolate chips are completely melted. To melt the chocolate chips on the stovetop: Pour the chocolate chips into a medium sized pot and heat on low to medium heat. Stir often until chocolate chips are completely melted. Either way you melt the chocolate chips, make sure you watch the chocolate chips so they don't overheat. Overheated chocolate gets clumpy and will not work. Tips for melting chocolate chips:- Watch the chocolate and stir often as it heats to prevent overheating it.
- Let it melt until there is still a small amount of chocolate chips still in there and stir the chocolate. Sometimes you can get the last bit to melt just by stirring the chocolate.
- The melted chocolate chips should be smooth and creamy.
