Marshmallow Roses

Miss Picky Pants Makayla thought she HAD to have the bag of large strawberry flavored marshmallows from the grocery store. I wouldn't buy them, but mom went grocery shopping this morning and as you can see, I have very spoiled children! I read the back of the bag for something fun to do with them. The kids had their fill of the marshmallows and I know from previous experience they would set in the cabinet and go stale (this is the reason I wouldn't buy them). I had some white candy coating, sprinkles and sucker sticks and came up with this idea. I thought it turned out adorable. I put them in a little flour pot (my trick to getting them to stand in the pot was to fill it with play-doh). I don't know about you, but I think I'm quite clever. Wouldn't they make great party favors? They would also be delicious dipped in plain chocolate. Strawberry and chocolate go great together. Why am I a janitor girl?... I think I need a show or book or something! (Ok, so I can dream) I hope you guys try these out and enjoy them as much as we did ;)

MARSHMALLOW ROSES
large marshmallows (I used strawberry flavored)
white chocolate coating (regular chocolate would be great too)
sprinkles (nuts or toasted coconut would be yummy)
sucker sticks

Place sticks into marshmallows. Melt candy coating. Dip marshmallows halfway into the chocolate and twist slightly to get a twirly effect. Sprinkle with sprinkles.
