Who's been naughty? I love giving coal treats over the holidays, these have been are our family favorite. This year, we decided to experiment and the result was yummy!
I think they'd taste even better and would set up really hard (so you can pack them in treat bags) if you can used chocolate to dip the marshmallows, just make sure to use a black oil-based food coloring to tint the chocolate. I used icing this time since we happened to have some on hand. :)Naughty Coal Treats
