Smores on a Stick MINIS!

Yesterday I made MINI smores on a stick.
I used:
a bag of mini marshmallows
a 4 pack of jersey milk chocolate bars
a box of Walmart brand graham cracker teddy bears
toothpicks
chocolate chips for melting/dipping
sprinkles to make them festive!

Here's what you I did:
Got a microwave safe plate.
Put about 15 graham teddy bears on it (face down).
Put one square of the jersey milk on the bear (with the word facing up - the indent holds the marshmallow in nicely).
Put one mini marshmallow on the chocolate.
Stick the plate in the microwave (carefully - they like to slide around) and microwave for about 20-30 seconds. The marshmallows seem to puff right up.
Remove the plate, put another teddy bear on top of the marshmallow and push down so it squishes. It is awesome if the chocolate is a little melted because it will stick to the bear better.
Once the smore is made, transfer to a wax paper lined cookie sheet and stick the toothpick in the marshmallow. (If you want to dip their feet instead of their head later, put the stick in the head side)
Once your little smore bear army is done, stick them in the freezer on the cookie sheet for 30 minutes (longer is fine too).
After they are frozen, pull the them out of the freezer, melt some chocolate chips in a good dipping glass, (I melted mine in the microwave - some recipes say to add shortening to the chips to thin it out but I didn't want to), and dip your bears.
If you want to add sprinkles, do it while they are still wet.
If one of the bears is not stuck, use the chocolate chip mixture as glue to attach it back on.
Once they are dipped, put them back on a wax paper lined sheet and freeze them or put them in the fridge until 30 minutes to an hour before serving.


I did make LARGE ones of these last year if you just check for SMORES on a stick back in August.
