    Sugar Coated Marshmallow Flags

    Have fun with your kids and make these sweet and patriotic Sugar Coated Marshmallow Flags! They're so simple to make and even better to eat!

    Sugar Coated Marshmallow Flags | HungryHappenings.com

    It's Memorial Day weekend already, and I haven't created a single Patriotic post until today.

    I almost waited for the 4th of July to publish this but figured these Sugar Coated Marshmallow Flags are such an easy edible craft to create that you could still get them done before your picnics on Monday.

    The idea for these came when I found a bag of Jet-Puffed S'More Mallows. Have you seen them yet? Unlike the rectangle StackerMallows which are pretty thin, these are nice and thick and a bit bigger too. They really would make the perfect marshmallow for a s'more, but of course, I had to do something else with them.

    Sugar Coated Marshmallow Flags

    So I painted my design on them using water and dusted red and blue decorating sugar over the white marshmallow to make an easy version of our flag. I didn't go into all the detail like adding stars, I just kept this food craft super simple.

    If you've never coated a store-bought marshmallow in sugar, you'll be surprised by how much it tastes like a marshmallow Peep. I first tried the homemade version of this candy after seeing all the fun brightly colored marshmallow skewers, pops, and kebabs made by Meaghan of the Decorated Cookie. She does some pretty amazing things with marshmallows and even has an entire section of her blog devoted to decorating them.

    To make my marshmallow flags easy for little hands to carry, I put them on a lollipop stick. Now everyone can wave a flag this holiday weekend.

      Of course you have one or two things I'd love to try - and the flags being so easy, I could get them done before everyone else is up - so cute!

        The stars are super easy, two ingredients, and a few minutes to mix up the fudge and they taste great.
