Marshmallow Bouquet


Main Ingredients:
- 5 marshmallows
- 15g white baking chocolate
- 25 M&M milk chocolates + additional (to fill the 'vase'. The amount depends on the size of the 'vase' u gonna use)
- 5 M&M mini milk chocolates

Materials:
- 5 satay sticks
- 5 color papers in green
- double-sided tape

1) Watch this video on how to make the stems using the materials above.

2) Melt white chocolate using the water bath method. *White chocolate scorches easily so personally I think this is the best method for melting white chocolate.

3) Dip the top of marshmallows into the melted white chocolate and stick the M&M milk chocolates and mini milk chocolates to form a flower design. When done, leave it on a plate until the white chocolate hardens so that the M&M milk chocolates stay secured and wont fall off.

4) Pierce satay stick from (1) into the marshmallow and pop it into the 'vase' filled with M&M milk chocolates. **Important Note: As seen in pic, I used flour topped with cocoa powder simply for illustration purposes. It is advisable to use something heavier like M&M milk chocolates, nuts or even colored candies and a deeper 'vase' so that the flower will not topple easily.

Voila! Marshmallow Bouquet for the kid's next party. Great as a centre piece too :)

Banana Pops

 
It's not a new idea. Check out the marshmallow pops I did last year :) Hope you will like these banana pops too.

Ingredients:
- 3 medium-sized bananas
- 100g baking chocolate
- small handful of hundreds and thousands and/or chopped nuts (I toasted the nuts for extra fragrant)

1) Cut each banana into 3 and insert skewer on each cut banana. Set aside.

2) Melt chocolate in hot water bath. That is, pour fresh boiling water into a bowl/small pan and in another bowl, break the chocolate into small pieces and place the bowl of chocolate into the bowl of hot water. Stir until chocolate melts.

3) Coat banana with the melted chocolate and then the chopped nuts or hundreds and thousands. Served immediately or can be served chilled.

Enjoy!
