- Carefully dip the hats into the red bark (we only dunked the top, not the entire triangle (but you can if you want).
- Allow the red to dry and then dunk the rim of the triangle in the white bark and then into a dish of the pearls.
- Dunk the edge of a mini marshmallow in the white almond bark and then place on the top of the hat.Allow everything to dry before eating.

Notes
- Use the small pearls versus large ones for a cleaner look. I tried the larger ones and it looked odd to me
- Cut the crispy treats into long rectangles and then cut into triangles to make them even
- You can store them in zip top bags after the chocolate is dry to keep them from drying out
- You may need a 3rd bag of red discs, depending on how big your bags are and if you are dunking the entire treat in the bark
