Owl Snack

White Chocolate
Hershey’s Kisses
Twizzlers
Almond Slices
Large Marshmallows

I. Cut a large marshmallow in half. This will serve as the mouse’s body.
II. Melt the white chocolate by putting it in a pot and setting that pot over a pot of boiling water. This will keep the chocolate from burning.
III. Dip the marshmallow half into the white chocolate and then stick the chocolate kiss and almond slices on it to form the head.
IV. Wait for the body to dry, then dip the head in the chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the head.
V. Use a toothpick to poke a hole into the back of the marshmallow.
VI. Pull apart a Twizzler until you have a small strip of it and insert that strip into the back of the marshmallow for the tail.

Yum! Mice for dessert!

2 Liter Bottle of Sprite
Silver Edible Glitter

II. Place a photo or illustration at the bottom of the bowl to serve as the “memory” that can be seen in the pensieve.
III. Put the bowl in the freezer until the water has turned to ice.
IV. Fill the rest of the bowl with Sprite and add a dusting of edible silver glitter to the top.

Polyjuice Potion

Tip:
