Not-So-Tricky-Treats...

CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOWS
(ON A STICK)
WITH JIMMIES!


...ok, they're 'involved' but NOT impossible!

You will need:

1 lb bag of milk chocolate for melting.
1 pkg paper lolly pop sticks
Jimmies of your choice
(for those of you NOT from New England?
Jimmies... aka:SPRINKLES)
1 pkg plastic treat bags
1 pks twisty ties (pumpkin decoration obviously optional)
1 large bag marshmallows

Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
(it's not that fancy, I took a bigger bowl, put it atop a smaller bowl that I filled with BOILING water and constantly stirred until chocolate was a smooth consistency)

Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper &
arrange marshmallows in rows once the stick is placed in the center of each.

In a bowl filled with the jimmies of your choice, USING YOUR HANDS grab & sprinkle the jimmies over the surface of the chocolate covered marshmallow.
DO NOT make the same mistake I did and just stick the marshmallow in right after dipping as the chocolate is hot & DRIPPY and ends up ruining you whole bowl of jimmies!
(pain in the ass!)

Oh, and when dipping the marshmallows in the chocolate, be sure to take the stick and tap it on the side of the chocolate bowl to help get any extra chocolate that may drip OFF the marshmallow before you attempt to give it jimmies.

Once each marshmallow has had a trip to both chocolate & jimmies,
return it to the wax paper & place into the freezer for a few minutes.

After they're visibly solid, remove from freezer,
bag & secure with twisty ties.

And NEVER waste any chocolate and/or marshmallows!
Once I ran out of sticks & twisty ties I took the liberty of dipping the remaining marshmallows in the chocolate and popped those puppies in the freezer and have them now in my fridge.
(never know when you're gonna have a craving!)

Oh, and see THIS handsome guy?
This is James.
James and I have had 3 dates thus far:
Once for ice cream (with Ruby)
Once for GAME 1 of the WORLD SERIES
and
once for GAME TWO of the WORLD SERIES
&
I think he's wonderful.

(he's also pretty smart because he thinks Ruby is adorable!)

No rush & don't any of you jump any guns but,
let's just say that watching the RED SOX by myself is always enjoyable...
...but watching the RED SOX with James, was better.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!
