Hot Chocolate on a Spoon!

 My very favorite time of year is HERE!! 
My husband and I were in Gatlinburg over Thanksgiving weekend. I saw something cute in a store and decided to try it at home...only I wanted to "up the cute factor"! 
Dipping chocolate, mini marshmallows, festive colored plastic spoons and food writer pens is all you need.
I got mine @ a cake decorating shop, but Walmart sells "Betty Crocker Easy Writers".

Mmmmmelting..........

 Just get a big ol' dip of chocolate..
hold the spoon level like this for several seconds. This lets the chocolate set up a bit..then you can place your marshmallows on top.
This is how I saw it in the store. (Nancy's Candy Co.) was the name on the tag. I thought they were so cute. But I thought, this can be so much cuter! 
 That's when I broke out my "food writer pens"!
Food Writers equals instant cuteness :o)
Just place your finished spoons on a wax paper lined cookie sheet .
I love it! 
Sweet~Sweet~Sweet!

There are so many possibilities. You could use any Christmas themed marshmallows. I think the gingerbread men are adorable.
But today, I only have the mini marshes.
Tie these up with ribbon in a cello bag and you have an easy, quick & sweet gift on hand as you need them!
Look at these sweet little guys :o)
All you need is a mug of hot milk..now just stir with your spoon till it melts down into wonderfulness!
Merry Christmas and Happy Baking from
Sugartown Sweets!

    on another note...I was to make these yummy things...is it that simple? How hot does the milk need to be for it to melt?

    1. Hi Karen, that's Wonderful news!! Just heat the milk on low, testing to make sure it's not too hot to drink. They are so easy! Thanks for stopping by. :)
