I went to the dollar store and found these cups and straws....hmmmm what to make???
Btw, 24 straws for $1 is a great deal!!!
Pretzels are always an easy favorite but I think I was being a little lazy. After dipping these nutter butter cookies I decided to only dip the pretzel half way too.
White chocolate
Candy Melts (Red & Blue)
Sprinkles
Cups
Bags
Ribbon
Parchment paper
Heat chocolate and dip, add sprinkles or drizzle with candy melts.
Bagged and added a ribbon.
Super cute! I ended up making these for the retirement residents for Memorial Day and when we called Bingo. They loved them.
Now what to do with the straws?? I originally thought of doing dipped marshmallows which is another favorite but then I found patriotic peeps!!!
So excited and they looked cute in the package. I love PEEPS and putting them on a stick would be awesome, right!? NOPE! They looked super creepy. Maybe dipping them in chocolate would make them cute. NOPE! Didn't help and now they looked like a cross between Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Penguin from Batman.
SEE!!!
Some things work out and some don't. Lol. MOVING ON....
THEN I saw GIANT marshmallows!!! I've made these for a few events lately and people love them!
It's hard to tell from this photo but they are about 2" tall!
I'll try to post a picture of one next to a regular marshmallow for a size reference.

Straws

I usually like to dip the stick in chocolate first and insert BUT these are going stay upside down and bagged. I figured it didn't need the extra support.
Candy Melts
Heat candy melts and dip. I held the edges of the marshmallows instead of the stick when dipping.
Added sprinkles
Set on parchment paper to dry.
Did you notice I alternated the color of candy melts opposite the straw!? :)
I used the same size bags above for the pretzels but I trimmed off about 1 1/2 inches from the top before bagging.
So cute!!
I'll add these little tags and done!
