Instructions: Make slit in center of each marshmallow; insert licorice candy into slit. Insert lollipop stick into center of bottom of each eyeball; set aside. Combine milk and drink mix in medium saucepan. Stir in chocolate chips. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chips are melted and milk is heated through. Place 2 eyeballs in each mug; fill mug with hot cocoa. Serve immediately.

Variation: Omit sticks and float marshmallows in hot cocoa.

Add these beverage stirrers to cups of steaming hot chocolate for some Halloween fun.
