A Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow Bouquet!

Today I made a sweet treat for our playgroup's 

VALENTINE'S PARTY!

I thought it turned out super cute so I had to share the how to with you!


A Chocolate Dipped 
Marshmallow Bouquet!

Ingredients/Materials:
-1 bag of Marshmallows (the big ones)
-1 bag of lollipop sticks (from craft store)
-1 bag of Make & Mold microwavable chocolate wafers (from craft store) - color of choice
-1 bag of sprinkles - color of choice
-1 jar - style of choice
-1 block of styrofoam (from craft store, size based on jar)
-1 sheet of tissue paper - color of choice
-Ribbon &/or extra decor

How-To:
-Measure and cut styrofoam to fit in base of jar
-Pull styrofoam out of jar for now
-Assemble the marshmallows onto the sticks
-Melt your chocolate in the microwave using the bag directions
-Dip marshmallows half way into the melted chocolate and swirl stick to let excess chocolate fall off
-Over a sink, sprinkle a pinch of sprinkles on top (I found this looked better then dipping on a plate)
-Arrange your sticks in the styrofoam block
-Once you have your styrofoam full and arranged how you like, place it on top of 1 sheet of tissue paper
-Place the tissue and styrofoam bouquet down in your glass jar
-Work the tissue in to give it a nice look
-Add ribbon and extra decor as you see fit

Wa-La! 
The cutest bouquet there ever was! 

And this sweet treat is just as 
YUMMY 
to the adults as it is the kiddos!!

ENJOY!

How To:

-Cut ribbon into 4 to 6 inch strips using your scissors
-Tie the Cards around the entire wreath using your ribbon strips
-Add extra craft paper and ribbon where you see holes (get creative, cut out hearts or cicles, etc!)

Enjoy!
