fun eats: {Dr. Seuss Inspired} Lorax Mustache & Truffula Tree

I’m not done with Dr. Seuss just yet ;)

To celebrate his birthday for Saturday, we made these quick little treats – they were so fun, so quick, and so easy to make!

 

Materials

• paper straw
• bamboo skewer
• cotton candy (I used one of those little tubs at the grocery store)

Directions

1. cut paper straw in half
2. feed bamboo skewer into straw so that about 2 inches of the pointed end stick out from the top
3. cut off bottom of skewer where it hits the the bottom of the straw
4. place a ball of cotton candy on top of the pointed tip sticking out

 

 

Materials

• mustache candy mold
• 6 inch lollipop sticks
• yellow candy melts

Directions

1. melt candy melts in thirty second increments in microwave, stirring between sessions
2. spoon melted candy half way into mold cavity
3. place lollipop stick in mold on top of melted candy
4. spoon more melted candy on top of lollipop stick & fill cavity mold to the top
5. smooth top & place in refrigerator until firm

 

 

Then we played and had a little mustache fun!
