A couple years ago, I found a cute recipe in a Family Fun Magazine that I knew the kids would enjoy making, and it looked simple enough that we could actually accomplish it...so began our Thanksgiving Eve Pilgrim Hat cookie making tradition.
This recipe calls for only a few ingredients: a bag of large marshmallows, a bag of chocolate chips, a package of fudge striped cookies, and a container of colored icing (the recipe calls for orange icing, but this year we used green).
My little kitchen helpers took turns smoothing out the melted chocolate over the chocolate-dipped marshmallows. 
My camera guy (ds7) grabbed a picture of the pilgrim hats cooling (and hardening) in the fridge.
Here's the final product, the green icing makes them look a bit like leprechan hats - but the kids didn't mind :)
And, of course, I must share a picture of one of our cute taste-testers.
This treat is a great one to deliver to family and friends on Thanksgiving Day. Dh took two of our kiddos to his parents' house to deliver a plate of these on Thanksgiving morning, while I stayed home with dd5 to guard our turkey (in the oven) and work on all of those other millions of things that need to be done to prepare our annual Thanksgiving feast :)
