Ready for some Easter Fun with your Kids? Let's make some Chicks on a Stick! (think homemade Marshmallow Peeps)
Slide a regular marshmallow, flat-side up, on a sucker stick. Halve another marshmallow and slide one half on top of the first marshmallow (round side up). Dip the chick into a bowl of water and then coat it in yellow sugar sprinkles (by rolling it in a separate bowl of sprinkles). Create the face by using round sprinkles for the eyes. These can be attached by white icing or edible adhesive. For the mouth use a heart shaped sprinkle turned upside down. For a tie you can use three chocolate sprinkles and adhere to the body. If you'd like to add feet use pink confetti heart-shaped sprinkles to the bottom.
Bunny Lollipops
To make the body, place one marshmallow flat-side up on a treat stick. Slide another marshmallow on top for the head. For the feet, cut one marshmallow in half widthwise and slide half on the stick under the body. Make a tiny cut in the middle of this half marshmallow and use white icing to attach three chocolate sprinkles onto each foot. With a black edible marker, draw eyes on the face. Use white icing to attach: Mouth: A red or pink confetti heart or round sprinkle. Whiskers: Two or three chocolate sprinkles on each side of the face. Ears: Using sharp scissors, cut one regular marshmallow in half diagonally. Roll the cut sides in sugar sprinkles. Paws: Two mini marshmallows and a sprinkle.
Lamb Cupcakes
Frost your favorite cupcakes in white. Cut a full-size marshmallow in half widthwise and attach cut-side down at center for race. Using sharp scissors, cut about two dozen mini marshmallows in half widthwise. Arrange these on the rest of the cupcake.
Ears: Cut a mini marshmallow in half and dip the cut side into pink sugar sprinkles. Attach with white icing.
Face: Draw eyes and a smile using an edible marker. Use icing to attach a pink confetti sprinkle for the nose
Feet: Use white icing to attach three chocolate sprinkles to two of the mini marshmallow halves that are near the cupcake wrapper.
