Here's a super quick and easy idea (or rather, reminder, as I posted on these glitter marshmallows just last month) for Valentine's Day: red and pink sparkly marshmallows.how to make Valentine's Day sparkly marshmallows
you will need:*
skewers and/or lollipop sticks
marshmallows
red and pink sprinkles
bowl of water
*Find lollipop sticks and sprinkles in the craft store (especially this time of year). A finer, sanding sugar works best, but any will do.
what to do:Skewer marshmallows. Pour sprinkles in two bowls, one for red, one for pink (I prefer using only one color of sprinkles per marshmallow, but you can also mix the red and the pink). Quickly dip marshmallow in water and remove immediately, shake off excess drops of water, hold over the sprinkles bowl, spoon sprinkles generously over marshmallow to coat. Stand marshmallows up in a jar or in a block of styrofoam until dry.
Now I can do this one also. I love all your ideas!
ReplyDeleteWho knew you could do SO MUCH with a marshmallow? You could write a cookbook devoted to them! I love the sparkle! You're so creative!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sue, a marshmallow themed cookbook would be fun.
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they? Thanks for the fab idea!!!
ReplyDeleteanother marshmallow???
ReplyDeleteUnsubscribing :-/
Thanks all! (Sue, can you tell my agent that?)
ReplyDeleteI will also post more cookies soon, anonymous, so sorry to pound you with marshmallows! (when the demands of life--full time with a two year old,our fixer upper,my column, my biz, a hubby in the reserves, etc---mean I can't get in the kitchen so much, marshmallows are an easy go-to. But I definitely understand it's not what's advertised, so I'll leave your comment untouched in case others feel the same...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of the ideas! Keep the marshmallow treats coming!
ReplyDelete(By the way, for the anonymous commenter that doesn't like them, maybe you should keep your negative thoughts to yourself and realize what great ideas these are, your negativity comes across as bitter and jealous)
Thanks for the kudos, Catherine! (No sweat, though, I can take the critique! Always useful to get both good and not so good feedback...Makes us better, right?)
ReplyDeleteOh man-perfect for me...fast & effective. All done 'Anthroing' the house? I know, it is never done
ReplyDeleteoh, so not even close to done. We did so much reno so fast I've been horribly lazy the last couple months. But I have ideas, does that count?
ReplyDeleteAww, these are so cute! Thanks so much, I'll be linking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so easy! Can't wait to try these.
ReplyDeleteI am in Love! Too, too, cute.
ReplyDeleteAdrorable! We made homemade marshmallows this year, my son wanted them to be red and pink but I avoided it completely thinking meh, food coloring will ruin 'em.
ReplyDeleteBut this idea? Takes it to awesome!
we did these during the crazy blizzard we are having in the mid-atlantic - killed probably 1/2 hour -and so cute! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! yep, charlene, WAY better alternative! (and adds a bit of crunch, too). Thanks, 3Xmom! I'm in DC staring at many feet of snow, so I was glad to give my 2 year old some marshmallows, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Thank you, Thank you,
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable! We made some today for my girls Sunday School class tomorrow and they and I had so much fun! So easy and simply even for my 4 & 6 year old. & yet, they look like we purchased them!! Love it and so thankful to you for sharing!!
these are super cute. I am going to do them for my sisters baby shower!
ReplyDeleteHi, how long before the birthday can i do this? how long will they last? and how should i store them?
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Marshmallows dry out fast, but the coat of sprinkles helps them stay softer in the middle for longer. You can probably do these the day before and keep them in tupperware containers. Just don't pile or smush them all in. I'd pack similar colors together, too.
