How to Make Dracula Dentures
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Carefully separate the tops from the E.L. Fudge cookies. You only need the bottom cookie with the fudge filling.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla frosting with a few drops of red food coloring until you achieve a blood-red color.
- Spread a generous amount of red frosting onto the fudge filling of each cookie.
- Cut mini marshmallows in half crosswise to create the “teeth.”
- Arrange the marshmallow halves along the top of the frosted cookie, leaving small gaps between them to resemble teeth.
- Press slivered almonds into the frosting to create the “fangs.” Place two almonds on each side, pointing downward.
- Let the Dracula Dentures chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
- Serve to all your little monsters!
Pro Tips & Variations
- For a less messy option, use store-bought red gel frosting instead of coloring white frosting.
- If you don’t have slivered almonds, you can use white chocolate chips cut in half for the fangs.
- Want a vegan version? Use vegan sandwich cookies, vegan frosting, and Dandies Vegan Marshmallows.
- For a truly spooky effect, add a tiny drop of black food coloring to the red frosting for a darker, more “rotten” look.
- Make these ahead of time! Prepare them a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
