Little C's class went on a field trip this week to our city's Water Treatment Center. Although we learned a lot of interesting things, all the kids seemed to talk about was the "Poop-Eating Bacteria" that they treat our water with. They were fascinated!
Soooo, for Friday snack this week we sent some "Bacteria Buddies" to school....
To make I simply took chocolate/vanilla swirled marshmallows, dipped them in melted yellow candy melts, rolled in crushed corn flakes, rolled in a variety of sprinkles with sunflower seeds (cleaning out the cupboard!) and added two edible eyeballs.
Wilton sells candy eyeballs now if you don't want to make them! Check your local Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
I also wrote a fun little poem to go along with them, you can click here to download/print it or on the image below.
I love how the sprinkles and sunflower seeds make them look "dirty", like they're cleaning up our water! Gross but funny. I'm sure they were a hit with the kids!

These are too funny. I can just imagine how excited the kids where when they saw them and ate them. What a fun idea!
These are so cute!!!! Brillant idea!
Oooo. There is also a great variation to using chocolate on these. We make them every Christmas and cover them with a Caramel sauce and rice krispies. We call them Porcupines. Here's the recipe if you want it:
Marshmallow Porcupines recipe
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 package caramels, unwrapped
1 package large marshmallows
2 cups Rice Krispies
Combine milk, margarine and caramels in double boiler over simmering water until melted. Individually dip each marshmallow in mixture with a wooden pick, then roll in Rice Krispies. Cool on wax paper.
So funny! Very cute and I love the poem too.
Those cupcakes are the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen! Adorable! And I am sure that my friends at university would love them as much as the kids.
I will give it a try ;)
