Make Lucky Leprechaun Bites for a fun St. Patrick’s Day treat. These little bites are perfect for school parties, family treats, or use the dessert as a table centerpiece. Bowdabra Designer, Susie of SusieQTPies finishes the dessert with a beautiful Mini Bowdabra bow.
To begin:
1. Melt Wilton Candy melts 1/2 cup at a time in the microwave. Do this 15 seconds at a time and stir.
2. Once melted, insert 1 inch of the lollipop stick into it and then stick it into a marshmallow.
3. The melt holds the stick into place. Keep them upside down for 5-10 minutes.
4. Next, dip the marshmallow stick into the melt. Use a spatula or spoon to help smooth on the melt.
5. Decorate immediately. Pour or dip marshmallow into the sprinkles.
6. Use half of a foam ball or a foam tray to place the marshmallows. They take about 10 minutes to dry.
7. To make the bow for your dessert begin by cutting 18? of Bowdabra Bow Wire. Fold the wire in half and place it into the Mini Bowdabra. Cut strips of coordinating scrap ribbon and place them one at a time into the center of the Mini Bowdabra.
8. Scrunch the bow with the Mini Bowdabra Wand. While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Mini Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra. Gently pull the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow and knot. Next, use the Mini Bowdabra wire to tie the bow to glass mug with a handle. Spiral the Bowdabra Bow Wire around a pencil to create fun ringlets.
9. Adding dry rice to a glass mug is a great trick to holding the marshmallow pops up.
10. Continue adding the Lucky Leprechaun Bites to the glass to create a fun and festive treat.
