Best of the Bake Sale


I have three kiddos.  I've done my share of bake sales.  And, I have slaved in the kitchen baking up delicious delicacies...only to have them sit untouched at the sale.

Then I stumbled upon this little gem when I combined two of my kiddos favorite things:

CHOCOLATE

AND

MARSHMALLOWS

And, I became "that mom".  

You can be that mom too...

Shopping List:

Chocolate Almond Bark 
(these kids are connoisseurs...skip the "good" chocolate &
 go with what melts the easiest, is cheapest & makes your life simpler!) 
Marshmallows
(I used the HUGE ones for this batch)
Sprinkles
(cuz everything is better with sprinkles)
Lollipop sticks
Cellophane bags
Ribbon
 

 Melt the Almond Bark in the microwave.
Dip the marshmallows in the chocolate.
Take off the excess with a spoon...smoothing it.
Dip in sprinkles.
Set on tray with parchment or wax paper.
Let harden.

The refrigerator makes this go so much faster.

 

 Tie up your little beauties.

 

ROCK STAR MAMA!

And, adults seem to love them as much as the kiddos.

One other hint...it's all in the packaging!  Cello bags & ribbon make everything look gourmet.

When I use regular size marshmallow, I put three to a skewer & dip them in chocolate.  It makes for a pretty impressive presentation as well.

So, there ya have it...

Best of the Bake Sale!

I'll be share more of my faves to secure your status as "that mom" in the coming weeks!
