What you need

Sprinkles (go wild here)
That’s it. Four simple things.
How to make them
1. Add the sticks
Push a stick gently into each jumbo marshmallow.
Stop about halfway so it stays secure.
2. Prep your dipping bowls
Put icing in one bowl and sprinkles in another.
If the icing is thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to loosen it.
3. Dip and decorate
Dip the top of each marshmallow into icing,
then roll straight into sprinkles so they stick nicely.
Place on baking paper to set.
4. Let them firm up
Leave at room temperature for 15–20 minutes
or pop in the fridge for a faster set.
Done.
That’s the whole recipe.
We love a snack that respects our time.
