Ingredients
- 12 tsp. chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 12 small croccantini crackers or unsalted saltines
- 6 toasted coconut vegan marshmallows, such as Sweet & Sara

- 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Preparation
1. Spread 1 tsp. chocolate-hazelnut spread on each cracker. Top each cracker with 1 marshmallow.
2. Press almond slivers onto sides of marshmallows for arms.
3. Cut ragged edge into strawberry tops with paring knife. Set strawberry tops on plain marshmallows. Cut eyes and mouths from nori with scissors, and adhere to plain marshmallows with drops of water.
