Easy Marshmallow Snails

Description
A recipe for Easy Marshmallow Snails

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows, divided
  • 1 package (4-serving size) gelatin, any flavor
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 24 (1-inch) pieces red string licorice
  • Ready-to-spread vanilla frosting

Preparation
Prep: 15 minutes plus refrigerating

SET aside 12 of the miniature marshmallows.

MIX gelatin and water in medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 minutes; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.

STIR in remaining marshmallows. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until marshmallows are partially melted. Stir gently until marshmallows are completely melted. Pour into 9-inch square pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray.

REFRIGERATE 30 to 45 minutes or until set. Run sharp knife around edges of pan to loosen gelatin layer from pan. Starting at 1 edge, roll up gelatin layer tightly. Cut into 12 (3/4-inch-thick) slices.

UNROLL each about 1 inch when ready to decorate. Stand 1 of the reserved marshmallows on unrolled portion of each spiral for the "snail's body," securing with frosting. Insert 2 pieces of licorice into each marshmallow for "antennae," securing with additional frosting if desired.

To Double: Prepare gelatin mixture as directed, doubling all ingredients. Pour into 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate as directed. For ease in handling, cut gelatin mixture in half crosswise before rolling up. Roll each half separately to form 2 rolls. Cut each roll into 12 slices. Decorate as directed.
