Make this Spooktacular Dracula’s Dentures for Halloween to put a smile in your kids faces. This Dracula’s Dentures recipe is easy made with cookies, mini marshmallow, vanilla frosting or vanilla wafers and red gel coloring.

It is something you can make on the day of Halloween. Make your kids favorite cookies or if you don’t have time store-bought cookies will work as well.

Halloween will be different this year. Unfortunately, kids cannot just wonder around the neighborhood or go to the mall for Halloween treats.

Two months ago, Dracula’s Denture was featured in Yahoo and I got a kick over it. I checked the recipe at Delish and it was easy.

Last month, I got mini marshmallows but never had time to make it instead we were munching on it. I got another bag a few weeks ago and finally I got my hands on it.

Things You Need to Make Dracula’s Dentures

(1) Cookies – Homemade or store bought cookies.

Tip: Use flat cookies. If your homemade cookie recipe is plump, flatten before baking.

(2) Ghirardelli White Vanilla Melting Wafers (Substitute with vanilla frosting) – Melt wafers in the microwave then stir-in a few drops of red gel coloring. This will be used as Dracula’s gums.

Note: For Dracula’s fangs, I am also using wafers instead of almond slivers just in case your kid is allergic to nuts.

(3) Red Gel Coloring

(4) Mini Marshmallows

As you can see, you can buy everything pre-made and all you need to do is assemble it. You can buy frosting too at your local grocer.

How to Make Dracula’s Dentures

(1) You can use 1 cookie cut in half to make 1 denture. I used 2 cookies and cut a small piece on one side. Prepare all the cookies you need.

(2) Carefully cut wafers with knife to make fangs.

(3) Melt wafers and stir-in red gel coloring. Let it cool a bit but not harden.

(4) If you like to add a tongue, drop a teaspoon of tinted melted wafer on a parchment paper or foil, spread and shape into a tongue. Let it cool to harden. Pull parchment paper or foil gently.

(5) Now, you can assemble the denture. Spread melted wafer around the bottom of 1 cookie halves.

(6) Lay marshmallow around the edges before wafer hardens. Set aside for 2 minutes.

Cookie with marshmallows. — This is one way of doing it without fangs.

Dracula's Denture made of cookie with fangs. — Make it with fangs. Make sure to let melted wafer sit a bit but not harden before adding marshmallows. That was my mistake. As you can see, melted wafer spread out. Denture need braces or some dental work!

(7) Take another halve cookie, spread melted wafer around and put it on top of the 1^st halve.

(8) Insert the fangs.

(9) When making dentures with tongue, make 2 halves with marshmallows. The top halve will not have marshmallow at the back instead spread some melted wafer and adhere to the bottom halve on top of back marshmallows. Tilt up until it hardens. Insert tongue then tint fangs with some red gel coloring.

Note: You have to be quick when using melted wafers. It can harden quickly.
