I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
How about some marshmallow pops to start your Monday off? The kids and grands will love them....EASY PEASY....Let's get started!
I found these cute straws at the Dollar store and decided to use them. They served two purposes...They would hold the marshmallow and then after the kids ate the marshmallow pop they could keep the straw! PRETTY SMART HUH?
Buy a pack of Jumbo marshmallows.
Place a marshmallow on the straw (or pop stick) Insert the stick a little more than half way through the marshmallow for a good hold. Lay to side.
Now I wanted to be a little creative so decided to go with red, white and blue....
Bought a three compartment size plastic container from the Dollar Tree, a Patriotic plastic tablecloth and I already had some Styrofoam.
I cut the styrofoam down just a tad to fit the trays and wrapped each piece with my plastic tablecloth.
Now I am ready to melt my white chocolate. I bought Candiquick. You can use regular candy melts too.
I prepared 14 pops so I used about 5 squares of chocolate. I melted the chocolate in two batches and actually had just a tad left over of Candiquick...YEP, you guessed it! I licked the bowl!
Prepare the Candiquick as directed on package. Then take your marshmallow pop and just swirl it around. It does not have to be perfect. As you see I had some that was totally covered in white chocolate and some that was half covered. Then sprinkle with whatever you want too.
I had some red and some blue sugar crystals so decided to use them.
Worked out perfect!
Now here is what I have learned and will pass this on to you. Since the marshmallows are HUGE...they have a tendency to be almost too heavy to place in the Styrofoam but only because the Styrofoam was not secured on the tray! I had to be careful...I recommend taping the Styrofoam pieces down to your dish to secure.
HOWEVER they did not last enough to be secured down! LOL! I think my man enjoyed them better than the grands!
I can almost see you smiling.....
