Did you know that September happens to be Fall Hat Month? Fall Hat Month is observed each year to mark the shift from Summer to Fall, referring to the transition of straw hats worn by many to guard from the Summer sun to more Fall-appropriate hats. After all, what’s more Autumnal than a fun and festive top hat, right? Get in the spirit and make a fun, tasty treat with this neat family activity.

Supplies Needed:
- Meltable White Chocolate
- Colored Icing (the kind in tubes works great for this-we used red)
- Large Marshmallows
- Round Crackers (we used Ritz)
- Wax Paper
Instructions:
- Assemble all of your supplies and prepare a cookie tray by covering it with wax paper.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Help your child dip a cracker in the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the entire top and sides in chocolate. Place onto cookie tray to cool.
- As chocolate is hardening, place a marshmallow in the middle of the cracker, forming the top hat. Repeat with as many crackers and marshmallows as you’d like.
- After the chocolate is fully cooled and hardened, gently pick up each top hat and pipe rings around the hat. Start with something simple, like three rings and a top on the hat, but feel free to improvise. You can do as many (or as few) as your child would like. Little hands may need help, so this may be a two person job, with one of you holding the top hat, while the other ices it.
- Ta-Da! Stand back and admire your work …then dig in!
