Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet. Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe. https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods. One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup. Broccoli and shedder cheese soup. My oldest granddaughter Raygen bought h...
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.....
