Indulge in the rich flavors of hot chocolate in cookie form with these delightful Hot Chocolate Cookies. Soft and chocolatey with gooey marshmallows, they're perfect for cozy gatherings.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2/3 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/2 cup mini marshmallows.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press mini marshmallows onto the tops of the cookies. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows begin to melt and turn golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

It's fun and scary to eat these Vegan Marshmallow Mummies for Halloween or any other party with a Halloween theme. You can make them quickly and easily, and they're great for satisfying your sweet tooth while still being vegan-friendly.

Ingredients: 12 large vegan marshmallows. 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips. 24 edible candy eyes. 1 tablespoon coconut oil. 12 pretzel sticks.

Instructions: Insert a pretzel stick into each marshmallow to create a handle. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated. Use a spoon to help cover it if needed. Place the chocolate-coated marshmallows on a parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still soft, attach two candy eyes to each marshmallow to create the mummy's eyes. Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the chocolate set for about 15 minutes. Once the chocolate has hardened, use a toothpick or small piping bag to drizzle additional melted chocolate over the marshmallows in a crisscross pattern, resembling mummy bandages. Return the tray to the refrigerator for another 10 minutes to set the chocolate drizzle. Serve and enjoy these spooky Vegan Marshmallow Mummies!

Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute, until the garlic smells good. Spread the sauce on the toasted bun halves to make the best salad sandwich ever. On the bottom bun, put a lettuce leaf. Then, add a burger patty with melted cheese. Put tomato, red onion, and pickle slices on top of the burger. Last, put the top bun on top of the other buns to finish the sandwich.
