So, last night, we went to Target to get Valentines Cards for DS for school....and discovered Strawberry Marshmallows with the Valentines stuff. I bought them, brought them home, and melted some dark chocolate...Dipped the marshmallows in the chocolate, and placed them on my wonderful PC pastry mat to set up......They are sooooooo yummy!:chef: I'm going back to Target for more of those marshmallows!
 
My kids would love those! We had chocolate covered bananas the other night and those were a hit!

I set mine up on a cooled round stone though...
 
That is dangerous! Becky, was your church cancelled this morning? Mine was, and it usually is the last one to cancel.
