I’m feeling a little panicky … Easter will be here in two weeks! How do these things sneak up on me … do you feel the same way? I have sooooo many plans … never enough time!
Today I made these quick and easy pops for you … I hope you like them!
I found the marshmallows at Walmart … called EggSwirlers made by Campfire. They are fruit flavored, shaped like eggs and colored!
The straws came from Target (in the Easter section). They are 7-3/4″(19.6 cm) x 3/8″ (9.5mm) … longer than the ones I used at Valentine’s Day and hold more candy!!!
I used clear/white sanding sugar and crystal sugar … because I like both and couldn’t decide 😉 Either one works great.
Once again … this project is easy peasy … as simple as 1 – 2 – 3 …
(click on the above photos if you want a closer look)
- Flatten one end (about 1/2″) of a straw. Dip a steak knife in water and stick it into the bottom of the marshmallow to create an opening for the straw … insert straw.
- Dip the marshmallow in water and use a paper towel to wipe off excess water. Cover the marshmallow with sugar and allow to dry.
- Fill the straws with small candies and fold in ends. Easy peasy 🙂

I’m not sure what it says about my (dull?) life – but I just get the biggest kick out of your creations! And since I am w/out a kitchen for the next six (?) weeks – this is do-able for me! So darn cute! I am a broken record – you are such a blessing! Thank you for sharing your gift of creativity – and so much more – great photos, great instruction – you make it look easy and I know it’s not! Happy Easter!!

:} I think the older we get, the faster the days go by. Always have so much to do and sooooooo little time.
I just love the clever ideas that you come up with.
I saw them packaged marshmallows at Wal-Mart and didn’t get any and now I’m kicking (not hard mind you) myself for it.
Them peeps are just a bit 2 sweet 4 me.
Well, until next time; may you have a great weekend.

Easy and so festive – love it. At first glance I thought you’d have to shape the marshmallows. But no….Walmart to the rescue. Be sure to tell recipients there are candies in the (Target) straw.
