Chocolate Covered Marshmallows....

A few weeks ago, my friend Carrie and I went to the mall to "walk" our kids around and catch up. We stopped by the food court to get a drink and I noticed that our mall now had a Nestle Tollhouse Cookie store. So I decided I had to have a cookie. When I got over to the cookie counter, I noticed they had chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick. Well, I LOVE marshmallows...I have to buy the Peeps at every holiday...I know, pure sugar, but they are soooo yummy...just like cotton candy and Cadbury Eggs.

Well, I decided that chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick would not be that hard to make...When I told Kyle about these, he sort of gave me this look like "Really??". He is not a huge fan of marshmallows. But he did offer a suggestion...roll them in graham cracker crumbs instead of sprinkles so they would be like s'mores. Great idea!

So I gathered my ingredients...large marshmallows, lollipop sticks, chocolate bark coating, sprinkles and graham cracker crumbs.






I skewered 3 marshmallows on each stick (this is how they had them in the mall).


I then dipped them in the melted chocolate and either rolled them in the graham cracker crumbs or sprinkled the sprinkles on them before the chocolate set.

Graham cracker crumbs...

And the finished product....


They are super yummy and not near as sweet as you would expect. They are great for kids parties or just for fun! I know they are not the healthiest "snack" but they are good.

Until next time...Gig'em!

School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
