Super Mario Bros. Mini Mushrooms

Mini marshmallow mushrooms with red and green candy tops.

While tootling down the soda aisle to pick some root beer, I discovered this cool ice cube container. The bottom part is rubber, so you can easily pop out the ice cubes. I picked it up and figured I would figure out a good use for it. It came to me a few days later – mini Super Mario Brothers mushrooms!

Ingredients:
    Red candy melts
    Green candy melts
    White sprinkles, round (I used Spring Confetti from Wilton)
    Chocolate Sprinkles

Equipment:
    Ice cube container with rubber bottom
    Sealable plastic bags
    Toothpicks

Do you have any suggestions other then marshmallows? My husband doesn't like them and I'd intentionally make then for him so I was just curious. :) Thanks!

Looks AMAZING though!

Thanks Klesa! :) I've been thinking of what else you can use...maybe marzipan? That might work, although I haven't tried it. If you give it a go please let me know they turn out! Good luck! :)

These are so cute! I'm definitely going to use these as party favors for my son's b-day. Props for separating all those sprinkles! If I can't find all white, I'm putting my son to work. ;)

If you did the green coloring they can be Yoshi eggs! :)
