We recently had a Mary Poppins themed party for our daughter who is OBSESSED with the Mary Poppins.
My hubby even dressed up like a chimney sweep so I thought I better come up with some cute treats. The kids loved them, plus they were so quick and easy!
CHIMNEY SOOT TREAT BARS
3 T butter
4 cups mini marshmallows, or 10 oz (about 40) large
5 cups cocoa krispies
1 cup chopped oreos (or another cup cocoa krispies)
black food coloring, optional
Melt butter in a large pot on low heat. Add marshmallows, stir until combined and melted.
Remove from heat, stir in cereal until well coated. Spray a 9 inch square pan and use a sprayed spatula to spread mixture in pan.
Cut into squares and insert a stick in each (optional).
CHIMNEY SWEEPS
Black candy melts (or dark chocolate), melted
Black sprinkles, optional
Pretzel rods
Line a tray with waxed paper. Using a knife to spread, or fill a paper cone with melted candy melts or chocolate, make an asterisks type shape (don’t worry about being too perfect!)
Sprinkle with sprinkles, if using. make a few extra since some might break.
Next, dip half of the pretzel rods into melts and set on wax paper to dry. After both are set, put a little melted candy melt on top of the pretzel rod and place an asterisks on top.
I had a container filled with cocoa krispies to serve them in so I place them in this so they could dry upright. You could also use a container of dry rice or beans or whatever.
I wrapped the container with paper with a chimney design on it for serving.
