GREEN HAT,
AN IRISH CHOCOLATE TOPPER.
"WEARIN OF THE GREEN HAT"
If you be wearin of the green
on March 17th, I be wishing
you a HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY.
Stick around and I will show
you how to make one of these
Lil-Green-Toppers.
INGREDIENTS
Rice Krispies-6 cups
Butter-6 Tbls.
Marshmallows-1 bag
Green Chocolate Wafers-1 cup
Hershey bar-1 bar
Laffy Taffy-1 yellow piece.
Bag of Gold Chocolate coins
Mix up rice krispies
with butter and Marsh-
mallows.
Let set until cool to
the touch.
Now take a small ball of krispy mix and start to shape the
brim of the hat. Make this ball about a 5-inch circle, and as
flat as you can get it. Especially flatten around the edge.
Take another ball, and make the top of the hat. About
2-inches tall, and 2-inches around. Shape, roll, pinch,
whatever it takes to sharpen the edges, and make it round
and flat on top.
Kind of roll the sides of the brim of the hat up. Place
something under the edges to hold up.
Place the top on the brim, and put in freezer for 10 minutes.
Take your krispy
hat out of the
refrigerator.
It will be nice
and firm.
Melt your green
chocolate wafers
until they are
creamy & smooth.
I used a large stiff brush and painted the hat until it had a
thick coating of green chocolate.
Sit on a rack to firm up, or put in frig for 5 minutes.
Take your Hershey Bar and break on the lines. They will look
like rectangles, now break them in half.
These are going to be the band on your hat.
Put a little green chocolate on the back of the half Hershey
to act like a glue. Place the half Hersheys all away around
the hat.
Now you are ready for the
buckle on the front of your
hat.
Take a piece of yellow laffy
taffy and flatten the end
of the taffy.
Now with scissors cut out the
shape of the buckle. Put alittle
green chocolate on the back of
the yellow buckle and glue onto
the front of the hat.
