We are having a fall bazaar in Nov. at our church and once again my girls and I will be making smores on a stick. They always sell out fast. We made a lot for Relay for Life last year and sold every one of them in no time. We take four regular size marshmallows and slide them on a wooden skewer. Then we roll the marshmallows in melted chocolate and quickly roll that in crushed graham crackers. Then lay them on waxed paper to dry. Wrap in clear plastic wrap and they are ready to sell. I use the big blocks of chocolate from WalMart and melt it in the microwave. You can crush the crackers fine or leave some chunks in them if you want. They are good either way. Now that WalMart has the extra large marshmallows out, my girls want to make some using those. I may let them try that next week. You can make these with the white almond bark instead of chocolate and sprinkle them with small candy or sprinkles but we thought they were too sweet that way. Sort of bland too. We love smores so we stick to that kind. I would love to have any easy bazaar ideas you may know of and want to share. I love easy food items since they seem to sell well for us.
OMG, this is AMAZING!! I will definately try this for the boys, and the Hubby. They will definatly LOVE them! My dad really likes Chocolate covered pretzels. All you have to do it melt hersheys chocolate bars down and dip the little pretzels in them and let them dry on wax paper! Another one is Popcorn Balls! However, for a fun twist you can color the melted marshmallows so the popcorn balls are colored, OR you can even mold the popcorn balls into something fun! Wrap the balls in some orange celpohan wrap and tie it with a green pipe cleaner for a Pumpkin sort of look (or dye the marshmallows orange using red and yellow and use clear celophane wrap! ). That would definately be cute!! If you don't have a good popcorn ball recipe, I can give you my Mum's. She uses like a Kettle corn instead of regular popcorn. Just adds a little bit more sweet to it!
Pretzels! I forgot all about this one. Place the small square pretzels on a baking sheet. Top each one with a Hersheys kiss. Place in a warm oven until kiss is soft and remove from oven. Top each kiss with one M&M and let cool. These are cute and taste great! I love the sweet and salty together.
Oh those sound sooooo good. These ideas will be perfect once it snows and we are spending more time at home.
These sound AWESOME!!!! I'm going to make with my kids this week!!! I might just do one marshmallow - if they're jumbo - coat in chocolate and in crumbs. What a FUN idea!!!!!
Oh, wait, don't forget the awesome pecan turtles for an easy treat too!!! If you lay out pretzels on a baking sheet (covered with parchment paper). Place an unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel and bake in a 250 oven until soft. Once soft, press a whole pecan on top. Let re-solidify. Try not to eat them ALL by yourself!!!
Sloan, you have the BEST recipe ideas!!! Peanut butter balls or buckeyes (PB balls rolled in chocolate) are easy and yummy. The recipe I have calls for 1 1/2 cups smooth PB, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 tsp. vanilla, and 3 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar. Combine the first three ingredients and gradually add sugar. This is WAYYYYYYYY too sweet for me, so I add less sugar (Do it to taste.).
Thanks for sharing. These sound like something Ems and her friends could make for her birthday sleepover.
This is fun and good: Make your favoirte sugar cookie recipe or use slice and bakes. Slice dough, put a bite size Snicker on top of slice, top that with an other slice of dough, sill around the edges, sprinkle with colored sugar, bake according to recipe.
We made hot cocoa mix yesterday. We drink so much in the winter up here in the cold north 5 cups powdered milk (can substitute a small amount of coffee whitener for a creamier taste) 3/4 icing sugar ( not very sweet can add more if you like sweet) 3/4 cocoa powder Mix it up and store in dry, airtight container. It turned out surprisingly well and you save a bundle on buying the premade mix.
We drink a lot of hot chocolate here in VT, too. Here is my Granny's Recipe, it makes a lot, so good for gifts, too! 1 ~ 8 QRT powered milk 1 1/2 -2 NesQuick (Large) 14 oz jar of Coffee Mate 1 ~ 1lb. box of Confectioners Sugar Sift and mix togeter, well. Here is a good Hot Tea Recipe, too! 2 cups Tang Mix 1/2 cup Instant Lipton Tea Mix 1 cup Powder Lemonade 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 Tablespoon ground clove 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon Mix Together Mix 2 Tablespoons in hot water Stir and enjoy!
We love peanut butter balls too. We only make them at Christmas so it is a family tradition for everyone to come help. They are soooo good! I have to try the sugar cookie and Snickers idea. Yum!
I just thought of another one that is quick, easy, and good. Just mix Candy Corn and Cocktail Salted Peanuts. That's it. It taste just like a PayDay Candy Bar. MM MM Good!
I just saw what my friend in Canada made for her son's bake sale...... Raspberry chocolate dipped marshmallows wih sprinkles http://twitpic.com/2z3yon

The cake pops in any form sound cool, but check out the ice cream cone ones http://www.bakerella.com/i-scream-you-scream-we-all-scream-for…/
