I have pinned numerous cute "kid" treats on Pinterest for special occasions when I am going to see some of my favorite little ones!
So when some precious kiddos got to stay with us for a couple days this past week, I went a little crazy! :-) The next couple of days, I'll share the fun desserts we made starting with Trix on a Stick! :-)
This is the perfect 'not messy' treat and is adored by kids and adults (especially Nate) alike! :-)
(oh and Gus.. . because he got his fair share of treats this week too since one little one in particular was always wanting to share with him!!) :-)
These look great displayed on a tray or bagged individually with a pretty ribbon! :-)
Trix on a Stick
1 box of Trix cereal (10.7 oz)
1 bag of small marshmallows
1 stick of butter
1 package of tongue depressors or lollipop sticks
In a microwave safe bowl, add 1 package of small marshmallows and 3 TBS of butter. Cook for 3 minutes on high (keep your eye on it - every microwave is different) Next, butter your spatula and add about 3/4 of the box of Trix cereal to the bowl of warm marshmallows and stir well. Let the Trix mix cool for about 10 minutes. While you're waiting, butter a pan to place the finished balls on. When you're ready to start, butter your hands so the mixture doesn't stick to you either. (re-butter after making each ball of trix) Grab a fistful of Trix mix, roll into a firm ball in your hands, then put a stick in the middle of it! :-)
These are so fun!!! My little girl would love these.
