Week 34 :: Moon Pies

INGREDIENTS:
-24 Vanilla Wafer cookies
-1 cup mini marshmallows
-1 cup very dark chocolate chips
-1 tablespoon coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Lay vanilla wafers out on a clean work surface, curved side up.

2. Place ½ cup of mini marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for 15-20 seconds, just until melted and fluffy.

3. Working quickly, spread about 1 ½ tablespoons of melted marshmallow on the curved side of 6 vanilla wafers. Press a second wafer on top, curved-side down. This will give your final cookies a flat top and bottom (just like the original Moon Pies!). Repeat with the second ½ cup of marshmallows.

4. In another small microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil for 30 seconds. Stir and return to microwave for another 30 seconds. Chocolate will melt before it gets hot, and your goal it to get a smooth chocolate without it actually being warm to the touch. This will keep your chocolate from mottling as it cools.

5. Plunge cookies into the chocolate mixture. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper. Once all cookies have been dipped, place them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to all the chocolate to harden. Serve and enjoy! Store covered for up to 1 week.

"Notes for Next Time": Heavenly, chocolate + cookie + marshmallow fluff goodness. Just don't want until the next eclipse to make them again ;)
