DIY : S'mores Wedding Favors
I love edible wedding and party favors, and Kelly Maron – mastermind behind Paper Stories – has sent us her quick and easy how-to for S’mores on a Stick! And even better, she has created three adorable printable tags for these goodies in two color palettes. Print either the “Love on a Stick” or “Yum! Yum! Yum!” tags on sheets of label paper, and wrap around the S’more stick, or print the “Gimme S’more!” tag on cardstock, punch a hole, and attach to your S’more with decorative twine. Voila – easy peasy S’mores favors! Thanks Kelly for sharing!
You will need:
- Melting chocolate (milk-chocolate candy melts available at Michaels, Hobby Lobby etc)
- Large marshmallows
- Graham crackers, crumbled into a small dish
- Lollipop sticks (I prefer the long ones) – available at Michaels, Hobby Lobby or online
- Clear treat bags & twine for packaging
1) Insert the lollipop sticks into the marshmallows and set aside.
2) Melt the chocolate according to the package instructions. It is best to melt a little at a time in a smaller dish.
3) Dip and roll the marshmallow into the chocolate, covering the sides and top, then immediately roll side of marshmallow through the graham cracker crumbs.
4) Secure the stick into something that will keep it upright while the chocolate dries. I used a cardboard box with holes poked in it. A large block of styrofoam (the ones that come as packaging in boxes) work well too.
5) Continue steps 3 & 4 with the rest of the marshmallows. Melt more chocolate as needed.
6) When the chocolate has set, wrap the treat in a clear bag, wrap with twine and add desired printable tag. Voila! S’mores on a stick.
