I made these for a school movie night. Candy on a stick...what could be better for kids!!!
Actually they are very cheap to make. I didnt' go for the candy sticks they sell at Bulk barn, because the sticks are too wide to get the candy overtop of them...but I was also worried about skewers and little kids, with the 'pointy' ends so~ once I threaded the candy on, I cut off the sharp tips. Not sure if the kids noticed, but I tried to put 'teeth' candies around a 'hot lips' candy and then two bigfoot candies at the bottom!! The only thing is I noticed kids seem to have a hard time getting candy off the stick... In the back are coated marshmallows, coated with the light mercens (sp?) coating chocolate from bulk barn.... Just warmed chocolate over water bath in double boiler (I just use a stainless steel mixing bowl over a pot of barely simmering water)... and once it was almost melted, I take it off and mix until smooth...then put in a tall heat resistant container like a coffee cup and thread the marshmallows onto skewers and then dip in the chocolate and let extra drip off. I had a styrofoam block beside me, to insert the ends of the skewers to let the chocolate set, without having to let them sit on their sides. I dipped some while still wet in sprinkles..that worked well, but smarties just fell right off unless I just placed them on the top of the marshmallows. I did pipe some melted white chocolate on some for effect, but it honestly tasted gross, not sure if all white chocolate tastes that bad, but it was gross... If it wasn't for a school thing I would have dipped in nuts and stuff...but we all know how that goes at schools. For xmas baking I'm going to use the coating chocolate and dip oreos in and then coat in some sort of nuts, and candy etc.
