Hi my amazing steemians,
Hope you are all well.Gosh I have got a hectic week.It is the last week of term, so the kids have got so many activities planned for Easter.I was being Mary Berry over the weekend making my scrummy delights for the annual spring bake sale.By the end of it though, I turned into Gordon Ramsay.lol.
When I was out shopping I had come across these gorgeous unicorn moulds.
My bambinos are unicorn crazy at the moment.I even made them watch Dungeons and Dragons and they loved it! Well as I was making in bulk, I decided to do a simpler alternative then the traditional cake bake. My Marshmallow Bites.Heres the recipe to make 6 Unicorns.
Ingredients
1 Cup Marshmallows
3 Cups Cornflakes
3 Tbsp Butter/ Margerine
1 Bar chocolate (150g) white
1/2 Tsp food colouring
Method
Step 1. Place chocolate and butter in a bowl.Heat over boiling water, until chocolate has melted.At this point you can add food colouring of your choice.
Step 2. Pour the melted chocolate in the moulds equally ensuring full coverage of the pattern.The chocolate should be 1/2 cm thick.
Step 3. Place in the fridge for 30 mins.5 mins before you take it out begin to make marshmallow mix.
Step 4. Place marshmallow in a non stick deep pan, adding 2 Tbsp butter.Leave on a medium heat until mixture is runny and thin.
Step 5. Add the crushed up cornflakes in the Marshmallow and mix thoroughly.The Marshmallow will start to stick very quickly.Put the cornflakes in the moulds.
Step 6. Ensure you work quick as the marshmallow hardens straightaway.( Pam's Tip - the cornflakes mix is very sticky and may be difficult to get in the moulds.Use the palm of your hands to press the mix down.)
Step 7. Place mould in the fridge for 30 mins.Remove after this and take the unicorn shapes out the mould.
Then hey presto there you have Pamcooks unique unicorn marshmallow bites....

You can go crazy with the different combinations of colours and decorations.It is entirely up too you.They were a hit at school! It is so simple with very few ingredients and very little cooking required.Little ones will love this especially.I would be interested to see if anyone else has any unique moulds? What other flavour combinations would you use?
