Happy Day Before the First Day of Spring!! I know, I know. The first day of spring is tomorrow, but I just couldn't wait!
Every post I've written lately starts out weather-related. For that, I apologize. I'm so caught up with hoping and wishing for warmer weather. We have inches of snow expected this week. Ick.
With that said, I've just started to pretend. Call me crazy. . .you won't be the first. Just please let me do what I need to do to be happy. I just need something to look forward to and the changing seasons and holidays do that for me. That's really what this blog is all about. And today, my readers, I must blog about spring. Flowers, green grass, marshmallows and candy corn. What now? Just stick with me.
Today I am introducing you to a super easy and cute kid-friendly treat. You'll really only need three ingredients plus some dessert sticks.
Ingredients
- Giant Roaster Marshmallows
- Pastel Candy Corn
- Yellow Reese's Pieces or M&M's
- Dessert sticks
- Melted white chocolate or candy coating (optional)

These are adorable! I usually find colored candy corn at Target--my kids actually prefer this to the fall flavors. Pinning! 🙂
