marshmallow – Millie + Mommie

Today we made the cutest and easiest little Halloween Treat! Millie LOVES marshmallows and since Peeps isn’t making their holiday treats this year (dang you Corona) I decided to make a little something special. This was very simple to prep, make, and clean up.

I found Ghost Marshmallows at Walmart- their brand. I bought dipping chocolates, halloween themed sprinkles, and I had the cakepop sticks. I used wax paper to put chocolate covered ghosts on to decorate and put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or so to set. That’s it! So SIMPLE! Millie LOVED doing this. She needed some hand over hand to help with the dipping, but she did all the decorating with the sprinkles! She loved that part….and she ate all the sprinkles. She is so silly!

Ingredients-

Ghost Marshmallows (Walmart)
Dipping Chocolate
Cakepop/Lollipop Sticks
Halloween Sprinkles
Wax Paper

First put the stick into the Ghost Marshmallow. Then dip the marshmallow into the chocolate and tap off the excess chocolate. Place on the wax paper and top with sprinkles immediately. Once all done put in the fridge for 15 mins or so to set up, then you’re able to take out of the fridge.

These would be so cute for a little halloween party or to give out for Boo Baskets for friends! I hope y’all like them as much as we do!

S’mores…..yum. They are one of my favorites, but I never make them. We don’t have a fire pit, we live in Texas, and a hundred other reasons why. There is something about warm melted chocolate and that toasty marshmallows.

Since I love s’mores, but never seem to make an actual s’more I decided to make S’mores cookies. I tried a few recipes and made a few of my own. This is the one that tastes the best and cooks the best! Some I made were very runny or didn’t taste enough like s’mores for my liking!

These are very simple to make and they have the basic cookie and s’more’s ingredients. The cookies were fun to make and everyone seemed to enjoy them!

(Preheat oven to 375*)

First cream the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla in the mixer. Next slowly add flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. (Side note- you can buy graham cracker crumbs at the store or make them yourself. I put them in my cuisinart to make the crumbs) Then fold in the Hershey’s bar pieces. This next step is the MOST IMPORTANT. You need to put the dough into the fridge for minimum 60 mins. If you don’t your cookies will be RUNNY. The will NOT bake properly and you will be sad.

Once they are nice and cold spoon cookies onto a baking sheet. I always use parchment paper when I bake. Makes the cookies come off easier and clean up easier too.

Bake the cookies for 7 mins then pull the cookies out and place the marshmallow on top of each cookie. Place back into the oven for 3 minutes. After that they are ready to come out! Let them cool and then they are ready to eat!
