Please do your part to save Santa...

Santa is getting old.  Be nice and save him a trip...by Being Naughty! 


This idea came from where else...Pinterest.  It was a fun and easy craft.  Now...who will receive them? 
MARSHMALLOW COAL
This is a picture of my results.  The front side is on the left, back side on the right.


Dark Cocoa Mint Candy melts*
Black sugar (sprinkles)*
Marshmallows
Straws or Skewers
Rice
Ziplock bags
Ribbon, glue/tape, stapler
*I used Wilton products purchased at a craft store


  • Melt candy melts following instructions on package
  • Place marshmallow on straw or skewer and roll in melted chocolate.  Use spoon to coat the places missed, then scrap off extra chocolate.  Place straw/skewer end in container of rice.
  • When it's set for a minute or so, roll in black sugar to coat the whole marshmallow.  You might have to use your hands to sprinkle it on the bottom where the straw/skewer is.
  • Stick back in the rice and let set until totally hardened, about 20 minutes.
  • Place the coal in a Ziploc bag
  • Create a document with images (below); print, trim paper to match width of ziplock bag, and staple to the bag
  • Glue ribbon to cover the staples
