Looking for a quick and easy festive food craft that the kids can tackle mostly on their own? Then these are it !
So simple yet so incredibly cute. A perfect bake-free treat that your children will absolutely love to make.
All you need are a few key ingredients and you are ready to go. My daughter made these all on her own and she is only 9. Her creations were gorgeous.
Ready? Let's get crackin'
RECIPE:
*adapted source recipe Marshmallow Mug, American Girl Magazine
WHAT YOU NEED
Small clean paint brush
Large marshmallows
Chocolate sprinkles and Christmas themed sprinkles
Mini candy canes
Digestive Cookies (buy the ones where one are be coated in chocolate)
Light Corn Syrup
Chocolate Frosting (store bought is fine)
MAKE IT
On the chocolate side of a cookie, add a dollop of frosting
Place marshmallow on frosting
Cut candy canes so you have a small handle
Push ends of candy cane handle into marshmallow
Brush a circle of corn syrup on the top of the marshmallow - a little goes a long way
Sprinkle with chocolate jimmies
For S'Mores, simple coat the plain side of 2 cookies with frosting
Cut marshmallows in half and place on frosting of one cookie
Sandwich together with top cookie
Cover top of cookie with a thin coating of corn syrup
Add sprinkles
