Equipment

35 blue striped paper straws or candy sticks
2 small mixing bowls
parchment paper
Piping bag

Ingredients

10 ounces large marshmallows approximately one bag
3/4 cup blue candy melts
1 cup yellow candy melts
3 tablespoons black cookie icing
35 candy eyeballs

Instructions

Heat the blue chocolate melts at 50% power for 1 minute, in a microwave safe bowl. Stir and continue to microwave at 50% power in 30 second increments until smooth and fully melted. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
3/4 cup blue candy melts
Dip the bottom third of the marshmallow into the blue candy. Immediately push a stick or straw into the candy bottom, then harden for 4-5 minutes.
10 ounces large marshmallows
In a second microwave safe bowl, microwave the yellow candy melts the same way you did for the blue ones.
1 cup yellow candy melts
Using the straw as a handle, dip the bottom two-thirds of the marshmallow into the yellow chocolate, right up to the edge of the blue. Place it on a piece of parchment paper to harden and set.
Once hardened, snip the tip of the black icing piping bag. You want a very small opening so that you can be precise.
3 tablespoons black cookie icing
Gently use it to attach two candy eyeballs to some and one larger one to others. Draw a black circle around the eyes. Use it to draw the straps of the goggles and a cute smile. Keep them still until everything has set, the

Notes

While waiting for these to harden, you can stand them up in a glass or poke the stick into a piece of Styrofoam while they set. If using a straw, the styrofoam may be too firm to push it through without bending. In that case, I'd push wooden skewers into the styrofoam, then put the straw over the top.
