Guest Post: Triple Decker Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks

Thanks to the hilarious Kristan Roland, creator of Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, we've got a triple decker marshmallow stir stick that will make you look like a rock star this holiday season!
Here are Kristan's simple DIY details and shopping list ...
- Peppermint Candy Sticks
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate Candy Coating
- Red and White Candy Coating
- Christmas Sprinkles
These
Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks look way more involved to make than they
really are, which is my favorite type of treat--especially around the
holidays, when we all want to impress but are short on time.
This sweet little project has 4 simple steps:
1. Gather up the goods.
2. Unwrap
the candy sticks and skewer two or three marshmallows on each. To make
things easier, you can stick a knife through the marshmallows first,
then push the candy through.
3. Melt your chocolate according to
package directions. (I like to put the chocolate in a mug or other small
but deep container because it's easier for dipping.) Dip the
marshmallow sticks in, and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet to
set.
4. Before the chocolate is set, melt the white and red candy and
drizzle back and forth over the chocolate. Sprinkle immediately with
Christmas sprinkles.
To speed up the setting, you can place the Hot Chocolate Stir Sticks in the refrigerator.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

These are such a great idea! They really brighten-up a mug of hot chocolate. I've done a variant of these and posted it on my blog- http://thesugarlump.blogspot.com/2012/01/hot-chocolate-stirrers.html
