Tasty Thursday - Candy Cane Marshmallows
I'm always looking for new Christmas cookie ideas. I came across this several years ago and thought I'd give it a try. My girls liked them more than I had anticipated. They are super easy and cute. They would also make great stirring sticks for hot chocolate. Just picture these amongst a hot chocolate bar. What the heck, even for hot coffee. It could be your own Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate. I found this picture on Pinterest to show you.
Candy Cane Marshmallows
Candy canes - I prefer the plain sticks over the hooked
1 bag Marshmallows - regular size
Dipping Chocolate
Additional sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed candy canes
Stick the candy cane in the center of the marshmallow. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip the marshmallow partially in the chocolate. Garnish with sprinkles, nuts or candy canes. Stand up on waxed paper until chocolate is hardened. Store in air-tight container.
Unfortunately, I don't know the exact measurements. I usually use the entire bag of marshmallows and if there are leftover candy canes, just have the kids eat them. Usually Christmas is all about the cookies. I do have to agree. But these are a refreshing change in the cookies.
