Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 20
 
Ingredients
  • 40 Nilla Waffer Cookies (clam shells)
  • 3 tablespoons vanilla flavored frosting
  • 1 drop of food coloring of your choice
  • 20 yogurt covered raisins (pearls)
  • ½ teaspoon black icing
  • 1 plastic ziplock bag (for icing the eyes on the clams)
Instructions
  1. On the back (flat side) of the Nilla wafer, spread small amount of frosting.
  2. Place pearl towards the center-front of the frosted wafer.
  3. Add just a touch of frosting on the bottom of a second Nilla wafer and attach the cookie on top of the pearl, and making sure the back of the top wafer is touching the back edge of the bottom wafer.
  4. Set aside, allow the frosting to set.
  5. Repeat until all "clams" are assembled.
  6. Cut a very tiny opening in the corner of the ziplock bag. Place about 1 teaspoon of black icing in the corner of the bag with the tiny opening. Gently squeeze out two little eyes onto each top of clam.
  7. Allow the clams to dry, and set if you are going to cover them with plastic wrap.
