Recently I received a phone call from a client in dire need of some marshmallow kabobs for displaying table numbers for her granddaughter's Christening. She showed me a photograph of her idea; I thought the idea would be one that I could pass along to others. Simple. Easy. Cute. Especially for her fun-loving marshmallow-crazed family.
I am sure if you played around a bit, you could make anything with marshmallows, but a cross was very fitting for this religious occasion.
The order was for 30 marshmallow kabobs, so I gathered my material:
Material:
30 large skewers
15 small skewers
4 bags of Kraft marshmallows
1 bag of pink melting chocolates
1 small Wilton squeeze bottle
1 tube of Wilton white pearl sprinkles
30 clear cellophane bags (I used 6x9 inch with a gusset of 2 inches)
pink dotted 1/4 inch fabric ribbon
Steps:
1. Place four marshmallows on a large skewer, sliding them down covering about 1/3 of the skewer. Be sure the marshmallows have their flat side facing toward you.
2. Because the small skewers are so thin, you could actually use scissors for the next step. Cut one small piece of skewer to fit in perpendiculiarly to the large skewer, placing it through the second from top marshmallow.
3. Place one marshamallow on each side of the small skewer piece.
4. Then, melt the chocolate and pour it into the squeeze bottle.
5. I am sure if you are talented with chocolate, you can be more creative, but I replicated the design I was given.
6. Save the middle marshmallow until last. As soon as you finish that middle marshmallow, immediately place one pearl sprinkle in the center.
7. Let the marshmallow cross dry for about five minutes. You may need to stick the skewer in the refrigerator for a minute or two to harden. When it is hardened, you are ready to place it in the bag and finish it off with a pretty ribbon.
