~Marshmallow Octopodes~

The theme for Cub Scouts this month is water based. So I thought I'd make a fun snack to share with the boys. Easy, Fun, Inexpensive, and Tasty!

Starting out you'll need 8 pieces of Twizzlers -N-Peels (pulled apart and cut in half).
A Large size Marshmallow
Toothpicks
Frosting dye
Parchment Paper

Using the parchment paper to work on, push 4 "legs" into the marshmallow opposite each other to look like this... (you may need to use a toothpick to make a hole in the marshmallow for the leg to make it easier)





Push the last 4 "legs" into the marshmallow between the first 4, again opposite each other. Should look like this...







Using Frosting dye and a toothpick you can draw eyes or a whole little face on your Octopus.

And TaDa!! A cute little Octopus to munch! You can put them on a blue plate to resemble water, or serve with goldfishes and Ocean water. (Blue drink like kool-aid)
