DYI: Apple Marshmallow Pops

Send your kids away to school with these pretty treats!

These apple marshmallow pops are sure to make everyone smile ;)

You need:

10 lollipop sticks

1 bag of red candy melts (white chocolate)

green colored fondant

mini pretzels

marshmallows

red sugar crystals

What to do:

1. Insert a lollipop stick into the marshmallow {to make lollipops}

2. Make mini green leafs using the green fondant. Make 10 tiny bowls (about 1/4 inc each), then roll each of them with the same lollipop stick and mold into a leaf shape with your own hands. Trace a leaf pattern with a toothpick.

 

3. Cut the mini pretzels into tiny sticks

4. Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and melt for 1minute or less. Cover each marshmallow pop with the melted candy melt. Immediately coat it with red sugar crystals.

5. Add a pretzel stick and a mini leaf on top with a little pressure to make sure they are touching the melting chocolate that will help them stay in place. Set aside on a wax paper for about 20 minutes.

So cute...I feel like trying this in apple green next time :D

Enjoy!!

Candy Cane Marshmallows

Look at these homemade Candy Cane Marshmallows!! aren't they just beautiful? 

These will make a great impression with your guests this Holiday Season!

Ingredients

Makes sixteen 2-inch squares

• Vegetable-oil cooking spray
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 4 packages (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
• 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 teaspoons red food coloring

Directions

1. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray; line bottom with parchment paper. Coat the parchment with cooking spray, and set pan aside. Put sugar, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring; let mixture come to a boil. Raise heat to medium-high; cook until mixture registers 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over 3/4 cup water in a heatproof bowl; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Set the bowl with the gelatin mixture over a pan of simmering water; whisk constantly until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in extract; set aside.
3. Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Whisk gelatin mixture into sugar mixture; with mixer running, gradually add to egg whites. Mix on high speed until very thick, 12 to 15 minutes.
4. Pour mixture into lined pan. Working quickly, drop dots of red food coloring across surface of marshmallow. Using a toothpick, swirl food coloring into marshmallow to create a marbleized effect. Let marshmallow stand, uncovered, at room temperature until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut into squares.
