For the eyes, knead the marzipan mixture and 75 g powdered sugar and roll into 24 balls. Then squeeze 24 chocolate chips into the marzipan eyes as pupils.
Put the desiccated coconut in a bowl and color with about half of the food coloring dissolved in a little water. It is best to put on kitchen gloves for this. To dry, spread the desiccated coconut on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Fill into a bowl again later.
It is best to prepare the eyes and desiccated coconut the day before, so they have time to dry.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and line the muffin tins with paper baking cases.
Mix the softened butter with sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy. Gradually add the eggs and stir in. Mix flour and baking powder and add. Now pour in the milk and stir everything into a smooth dough. Finally stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
Divide the batter into 12 muffin cases. It looks like it`s too much batter, but the muffins need to get very tall. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
After removing the muffins, leave them in the tin for a short time and then let them cool completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
Mix the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the blue food coloring, which has been dissolved in a little water, into a thick icing. Brush the surface of the muffin with it (reserve some pouring for the eyes) and dip the muffins upside down in the blue desiccated coconut. Then cut a small oval piece out of each muffin and insert 1/2 cookie into it as a mouth. Possibly also glue on with some casting. Also glue the eyes with the casting and then let everything dry for about 3 hours.
