Sugared Marshmallow Pumpkins
This Sugared Marshmallow Pumpkins recipe is fun for kids to help make a pretty Thanksgiving or Halloween Treat!
Ingredients
- Marshmallows
- White Sugar
- Food coloring red and yellow
- Water
- Twizzlers Pull and Peel Green Apple
Instructions
- Use a small covered plastic container. Add in about 1/2 cup of white sugar and drop in 4 drops each of yellow and red food coloring.
- Cover container and shake well. Use a whisk to break up any clumps.
- Fill a small bowl with room temperature water. Take a marshmallow, quickly dip in the water, shake off excess and drop in the container of sugar. Replace the lid and shake until marshmallow is covered. (We did two marshmallows at a time.)
- Use a skewer (we didn’t have one, so used a pointy kitchen thermometer) to make a hole in the center of each marshmallow top.
- Cut a small piece of the licorice (we pulled it apart so that a thickness of 3 strands was used for each stem) and press it into the hole. Use your pointy implement to stick it in further.
- If displaying your pumpkins together, use other strands of licorice that you have curled as pumpkin vines on the plate.
