Fruity Rainbow Marshmallows

A few weeks ago my daughter graduated from Preschool. She has been able to attend such an amazing preschool where the teachers really care about learning and teaching, whether the kids are understanding what they are being taught, movement and dance classes, cooking, science, math, the list goes on and on. I have loved having her at this preschool. SO...for graduation this year they had a rainbow theme, and talked about how the kids are all different, they're all a different color in the crayon box, but they all have something very important to offer the world.

I was asked to make rainbow marshmallows for the kids, as a treat for after graduation. Let's just say, they are adorable!! AND they are easier than you would think. I was supposed to watch a video about how to make them, but it would never pull up for me, something about technology and I don't get along at times. :) So I found a link that said something about dipping the marshmallow in water, and then dipping it in Jell-o powder. SUPER FUN and SUPER EASY! Can you say homemade peeps?

So here is what I did, and how they turned out. My kids loved them, and I was happy that I learned, essentially, how to make peeps.

Fruity Rainbow Marshmallows:
25 large marshmallows
1 small bow Jell-o powder, any flavor/color you like
1 small bowl of water
YOU WILL ALSO WANT TO HAVE:
1 cookie sheet for the marshmallows to dry out on
1 piece of parchment paper or cooling rack to put on the cookie sheet

Open the bag of marshmallows, you can dip up to three at a time in the water. Make sure they are completely wet. Remove one at a time with a pair of tongs shaking off the extra water, and then dip and completely cover with the Jell-o powder. Place on the cooling rack/parchment paper to dry. It takes approximately 2 hours for them to dry. Then do whatever you like put them on a stick and tie a bow around it, put on a platter to serve, be creative with presentation.
If you really want them to be like peeps, you can let them dry for a little a longer. They taste just like the flavor of Jell-o powder you use.
Enjoy, and have fun. The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
