I love to put fun surprises in Miss Sarah’s lunch box and make her the talk of the lunch table. This simple treat is way simple to make and uses store bought ingredients. It is a huge timesaver and yet, impressive.
You will need:
1 package of chocolate ding dongs
1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper
1 mickey mouse head template printed out
4 disposable piping bags, 1 fitted with a number 2 tip
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 C powder sugar
1/4 bag of Ghirardelli melting milk chocolate
black yellow and orange gel color
Directions:
Using a double broiler, melt the milk chocolate and scoop into a piping bag not fitted with the tip
Cut the tip off on the piping bag
Place the printable under the wax paper
Using the melted chocolate, pipe out mickey’s ears
Pipe a triangle in the middle of the bottom part of the ears to create a ‘pick’
Place the tray into the fridge to harden
In a standing mixer, combine the egg whites, cream of tarter, vanilla and powder sugar
Mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 5-6 minutes
Split the frosting into three bowls
Add black coloring into 1 bowl, orange coloring into another bowl and the yellow coloring into the last bowl
