Impulse Buying

We all know what it’s like to walk into a store and come out with more than we intended to buy. How many times have I walked into Target meaning to buy only toothpaste and walked out with three bags full? Too many times to remember!

Well, men have been known to do a little impulse buying as well. Ed is usually pretty good at sticking to his list, mainly because he is frugal. Every once in a while, however, he will bring something home that was not on his list. With help from the peanut gallery, I present:

Easy Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops

This fun fall recipe has been one of my most popular posts, so I’m sharing it with you again! This recipe comes from Food Family Finds. These easy Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops were a huge hit with my daughters and their friends last Halloween.

You will need these things:

Cookie Sticks
White Candy Melts OR yellow and orange candy melts
Candy coloring (if using white candy melts)
Crisco
Marshmallows (regular-sized works best–some generic brands are too small. The original recipe calls for giant marshmallows, but in my opinion they were too big and sweet.)
parchment paper
Optional: Clear treat bags with twist ties

Some of the supplies you’ll need

Melt the orange candy melts and a tablespoon of Crisco for each 1/2 cup of candy melts in the microwave using the directions on the package. If you are using white candy melts, be sure to use candy coloring only, not food coloring. Food coloring will make your candy too runny and it will not set properly. Dip the marshmallows two-thirds deep into the candy. Place the marshmallows on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

When the orange candy is completely hardened, repeat the process with the yellow candy melts, dipping the bottom one-third of the marshmallow into the candy. Allow the candy to harden completely.

Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops are a fun treat to bring to a Halloween party. They are also a great gift for teachers, babysitters, or any one who has a sweet tooth!
