Ingredients

  • 1 straw or lollipop stick
  • 1 regular sized marshmallow
  • 1 package lavender candy melts
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 8 pretzel sticks
  • 2 Candy eyes
  • 1 purple fruit loop creal

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Take one of the marshmallows and push it onto a lollipop stick or a straw. Use a twisting motion as you push the marshmallow onto the stick or straw to help it go on easier. Lay the marshmallow on the stick onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add candy melts and coconut oil to a medium size microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between the increments, until the chocolate is fully melted.
  4. Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate then put each pretzel onto the wax paper to let them dry.
  5. Arrange the eight sticks into a circle on the baking sheet so the pretzels look like a sunburst. Then drop a small amount of melted chocolate into the middle of the eight pretzel sticks to hold them together.
  6. Dip the marshmallow into the candy melts to cover it completely. Let any excess candy melt drip into the bowl.
  7. While the chocolate on the marshmallow is still wet, add the candy eyes and the fruit loop onto the marshmallow then put the marshmallow onto the center of the eight pretzel sticks.
  8. Let the candy melts dry completely then serve on a blue tray for an underwater feel!

Notes

  • Get creative with decorations by adding sprinkles and mixing up the colors.
  • Speed up the drying process by putting the pretzels in the fridge.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
