Our kids have their class parties this week and we decided to do something cute and yummy for the younger ones to pass out.
The idea for the treats came from Familyfun.com. We just added a tag to personalize them.

What you'll need:
- blue candy melts
- lollipop sticks
- large marshmallows
- 3" x 4" clear bags
- sprinkles
- ribbon (green)
- a piece of styrofoam
- hole punch
- sugarplum download HERE
How to do it:
Step One... Follow the directions on the bag for melting the chocolate. Prepare the sugarplums by pushing the sticks halfway into the marshmallows.
Step Two... dip the marshmallows halfway into the chocolate then directly into the sprinkles. Stand the sugarplums up in the styrofoam to set.
Step Three... Once the chocolate is completely set, place the clear bags over them.
Step Five... place a strip of double-sided tape between the two strips of tag and stick them together.
It doesn't get much easier than this.

Step Four... punch a hole in the middle of the tag. tie a knot around the stick with your ribbon. stick the ends of the ribbon into the hole and then tie into a bow.

What a sweet idea!! So glad I found your blog yesterday!
Sooo jealous of schools that still allow handmade foods to be brought in. Ours don't anymore (understandably, though). These are cute!

Genius!!!
PRECIOUS!!!!!
What a cute idea!! I love these!
Marshmallows on a stick are a crowd favorite on the dessert tables I create -even the grown ups eat them {i'm personally not a fan of raw marshmallows, but they sure are cute!}
I love these!!! And it looks really easy! :)
LOVE IT! Just shared with my whole department at the college. College profs like cutie gifts too. :o)
Perfect! I think we'll copy! Thanks.
These are so great!
That is adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Fun! I decided to try these this afternoon with some giant marshmallows that I found at Walmart and they are so cool. Thanks for sharing this idea! I'm a big fan of your blog.
Wait!?! There are still schools that allow you to bring in homemade treats??? I WISH we could do something like this. :( SO darling.
My Hmong neighbors use to make something simular when I was growning up. The difference is that before the layer of chocolate they would put on a layer of peanut butter. YUM
And much cuter than this! What a darling idea, so bright and colorful. I love the tag too. Thanks for a great and simple idea.
I think I will make these for my daughter's preschool class! Unfortunately my son can't bring anything homemade:( Thanks for sharing!
Awesome idea! Love the sugarplum tag...Just completed them with twin 3 yr olds for their class tomorrow. i had everything on hand. thank you love your site!
Cute! Easy! Fun! I have some orange and purple candy melts left over from the summer. I didn't think that they were Christmasy, but I was wrong. These will be perfect for my two-year-olds friends.
So cute! Love how you packaged them up! Sharing with my FB fans!
Thank you for the fantastic idea! Such fun. They really are beautiful and perfect.
But you know what would make it that much better? Could you share the file for the tags? You used such a fun font!
Pretty please?
oh boy...so glad to have found you!!!
