marshmallows with sprinkles

Question: What kind of special edible Easter treat do you make for a kid who doesn’t like chocolate?

Answer: You combine two of his favorite forms of sugar — marshmallows and sprinkles — and end up with the most beautiful, simple treat ever.

A couple weeks ago I saw a picture on the Hip Hip Hooray blog of marshmallows dipped in chocolate and sprinkles, and I knew Hayden would love them if I used something other than chocolate. So today over lunchtime, I took a few minutes (literally — it was so quick) to make my own version with white candy melts instead of chocolate. All I did was melt some white candy discs in a double boiler, dip the marshmallow in the melted goo, and drop some sprinkles on before it hardened.

It would be easy to make these with other colors of melted candy or sprinkles to coordinate with a particular color scheme, but the classic multi-colored nonpareils are fun and cheerful.
