Ingredients
- Coloured Mini Marshmallows: look for the fruit flavored mini ones, that come in all different colors.
- Chocolate Chips: dark, semi sweet, or milk will are work perfectly, so just choose your favorite.
- Long Toothpicks: or bamboo skewers that you could cut down a little. You could even use an uncooked piece of spaghetti.
How To Make Marshmallow Pencil Snacks
These are super simple, and something your kids might like to help with, like mine did.
- Step 1: To make them, thread yellow mini marshmallows onto a toothpick.
2. Step 2: Next, add a chocolate chip to one end, to resemble the tip of the pencil.
If you have trouble adding the chocolate chips, put them in the microwave for just a few seconds to soften them but not melt them.
3. Step 3: Lastly, add one pink marshmallow the other end to resemble the eraser on a pencil.
Tip: If you're serving these to younger kids, be sure they are careful not to bite or eat the toothpick, or use the uncooked spaghetti noodle option.
If there’s one thing I know about making everyday life a party, it’s that little things done with love turn everyday life into a party.
Sometimes making little people feel extra special feels like the hardest job in the world…and then other days all it takes is a bag of marshmallows and few chocolate chips. Happy Back to School!
