This year, I went with chocolate covered jumbo marshmallows on a stick! Above, you will see the supplies needed. I used Mardi Gras colors (purple, green and gold) for cupcake liners...
Next, I stuck the sticks into the giant marshmallows (they're made by Campfire, found at my local grocery store), and I dipped them into melted white chocolate wafers. Before the chocolate set, I sprinkled them with Mardi Gras colored sprinkles...
I let them harden in the frig, and then bagged them up. They look like this:
Just a fun way of remembering and celebrating the day. Makes me wish I was with my family down in Mardi Gras today...And for those of you feeling adventurous, make one of the King Cakes below for your family to celebrate tonight! What a great dessert idea!
