One thing I love to make are classroom party "treats". It doesn't have to be "hard" or time consuming...just colorful and lots of sprinkles. I first came up with this idea about two years ago after visiting Disney World. We had chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick. It was true Disney "magic".
I came home and started making chocolate covered marshmallows on curly straws like Disney. Well, now I put marshmallows on anything that will hold them. Yesterday, I stuck three marshmallows on the end of a candy cane...dipped in chocolate...tossed on the sprinkles...spritzed with white chocolate! My kids "eyes" were so big while watching I thought they may "pop" right out!
When they harden, I will put clear "wrap" around the marshmallows and tie a bow right under the marshmallows. I leave the plastic on the "hook" of the candy cane so their hands don't get sticky. It's such a fun treat for any class party. Marshmallows, chocolate, sprinkles and candy canes...a true delight for any child!

Keep those idea's coming! This is great-thanks!
I LOVE this idea! I've never thought of putting mm on a big candy cane stick!
Oh my gosh!! What an absolute fun idea, Sandy!! Love it! Thanks so much for the idea.... I think I am going to try this with my kids today or tomorrow... they will love it!
And love the tickets... wish I was there so I could hitch a ride!
Oh! Those would make really fun hot chocolate stirrers (is that a word?) too! So fun and yes the perfect classroom treat.
That is brilliant!!!! And they are so pretty too.
I love that treat!!! So yummy looking...but where can I buy it?! LOL
How cool about tonight!!!
That is awesome!! What a great idea! Hope you guys have fun tonight.
Great idea! thanks for reminding me about this! my kids will love to eat these too! When we were in Disney we get the gingerbread, the rice krispies and the pretzel sticks!
I can see why kids' eye would pop out! What a fantasy treat...so clever, cute, magical!
Oh yummy, I would like that myself. I can see the kids jumping up and down with glee.
Hugs,
Chris
Oh how cute! Little Logan would love this, because I can not keep marshmellows in the house because of him. He takes them and nukes them in the microwave and eats them. I know I don't know why either.
Oh my gosh, I love the treats! How fun! And you just HAVE to tell us how the night goes with the minivan express! I told my husband about your idea and we actually both got all choked up just thinking about how fun it would be (maybe we are both experiencing pregnancy hormones!). I want to hear all about it!

love this idea, I'm going to do this for my daughters class something to cheer me up since my christmas tree fell over last night :(. What kind of chocolate do you use?
How adorable! You are so creative. I saw a candy making kit that used thick stick pretzels as handles. You could use those for marshmallows too. I don't like marshmallows much but I do like them with pretzels. Maybe the salty-sweet combo?
The golden tickets have me curious...
What a wonderful (and clever idea)...thanks for sharing it...I may just have to do this one, too!
Awesome idea! How funny too...I am going to be doing the treats tonight! I am doing choc dipped pretzels....Oh how fun...I hope you see lot's of beautiful lights!
Those are beyond ADORABLE!!! I love this idea! So creative!
Oh my goodness... My daughter has a program at school tonight but after that I am hoping to have enough time to make these for the boys' tomorrow! These look so fun!
How cute! I love it!
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Beautiful AND delicious!
I have been thinking about doing the Golden Ticket at our house this weekend! Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas, Sweetie! Lori
This book that I'm reading is really good. You might want to get it. It's about a woman who ends up in divorce, she suffers from severe depression and forces herself to deal by traveling and learning more about herself. She's funny and witty, most of all insightful. The beginning is her in Italy (eat), next is India (pray) and I'm not sure where she finds love...I'll have to see when i get there. Takecare Minivan Express...that was way too cute.
Oh my -- you are so clever!! Those look wonderful! What a great idea!
Have fun on the Minivan Express tonight!
Janet
Holy cow...they look beautiful and I bet they are super yummy. And I have to tell you that I borrowed your idea for the minivan express. We went on Monday night and my kids LOOOOOVED it! Thank you for such a fun new tradition! (Don't ya just love blogland?)
Those look delicious! And so festive grouped together like that. I will have to remember that for next year's school parties!
You have the best ideas! What a blessing to be on the receiving end of all of craftiness!
Have fun tonight! Memories will be made I'm sure!
Those are so cute and clever~ Thanks for sharing!
I love this idea. I could devour a few of those myself. What a treat for the kids that recieve those.
Have fun tonight!!!
Yum, those look good!
Hi Sandy Toes! Have fun on your Golden Ticket night! Bryce is so ANXIOUS to know when ours will be! We're going to surprise him with his ticket either on Sunday or early on next week.
Now, these marshmallow treats? PURE BLISS! They are great and I am so making these for B to pass out to his classmates next year. Too late this year, but next...it's on!
Merry December hun~ Les

Those are the CUTEST treats for the kids!!!! Think I am gonna have to make some! They will just have to be for us though cause school treats have to be store bought :( though I can say with some of the people, it is probably a good thing.....lol.
Oh, have fun looking at the lights on your minivan express. We will be doing that next week when my parents get here.
OH!! I'm so excited for you guys...the golden tickets...Mini-van Express!! I can't wait to hear all about it...you will share, right?☺ Hope you all have a splendid time! I wish I would have seen those adorable classroom treats a couple of days ago. Isaiah's party was today. I'll have to store that one away for next year. Too cute!
What a great, simple treat idea! I am definitely "stealing" this one. Woo-hoo...treat idea for my son's class party tomorrow is now taken care of. :)
