A Pretty Good Try!

Okay, Jordan and I took Evey and Lil "B" for an outing today.  We went to a place called "BIG" Lots.  Well, it was a first for me.  Have you ever heard of BIG Lots? I don't mean any disrespect to those of you who love this store, but "I" wasn't all that impressed. Maybe it's like Tuesday Morning..Sometimes it's good, sometimes,, not so much. We dropped in there after going to a real favorite of mine Hobby Lobby cause we're lookin for a ton of stuff for Ever's b'day.  I WAS however impressed with this find!!!

BIG Marshmallows.

This is how big these things really are!

We've been tossing around ideas for Ever's  birthday party and an idea popped into my mind.  Chocolate covered marshmallows!

So.....we experimented with these BIG things. Now... I would love some input here as to doing these better than we did.  They didn't turn out terrible, but let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement.

First we got some of this:

and melted it in the microwave

I had a lil helper 

Okay, first, we needed Popsicle sticks, but all we had were skewers...and the marshmallows were a little heavy for the skewers so when if you do these, remember,,,,Popsicle sticks rule.

we rolled the marshmallow around in the white chocolate

then we used colored sprinkles to cover them

well isn't that a great pic???? you can't even tell what I'm doin! I was sprinkling sprinkles on them.

I also had these cute little candy dots that I put on them

side note.  Let the chocolate set up a bit before putting the dots on them.  They were sliding off.

I also think we're gonna do milk chocolate when we actually make them for the party.  Or maybe a mixture.

Here is our finished experiment.

They're kinda cute huh?  And OMG....they are SO good. (And low fat....) If anyone out there has done anything like these, pa-lease advise!!! 

Also, a must,,,,put em on wax paper.
We've got some other great ideas to pop up this party so stay tuned!!!

Have fun ya'll!
