If you like sugar sweets or chocolate, the Wee Men are sure to please! In a recent search for fun appetizer recipes, I came across the recipe for Wee Men. After reviewing it, I decided that this is one that I wanted to add to my kid friendly and fun recipes to one day make with Kaitlyn. When go blue dad got home, I showed it to him and he suggested we give it a test run while Kaitlyn was napping. They were simple and easy to make and tasted yummy!! We can't wait to make these with Kaitlyn one day when she is old enough.


Wee Men Recipe

• 8 ounces hershey's special dark chocolate

OR

• 8 ounces milk chocolate (kid's might prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate)

• 1 bag regular size marshmellows

• 1 regular size bag M&M's (need about 30 M&M's)

• Parchment Paper

Making the Wee Men is as simple as it looks. You melt the chocolate bar, dip the marshmallows, place a small amount of melted chocolate on top, and add the M&M. I prefer to melt the chocolate on the stove in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water, but you can do it in the microwave if you want to save time. Once melted, pull the bowl off the burner and start dipping the marshmallows. Dip marshmallows about 1/3 deep into the chocolate and set on parchment paper. Gently spoon a drop of chocolate on top of the marshmallows and place the M&M's on top of each one. After finishing, we put the Wee Men in a cool environment (cold garage in January or refrigerator) to allow the chocolate to set. We stored them in the refrigerator overnight. Enjoy!!

How to Involve the Kiddos...

• Melting Chocolate - adult task unless working with older kids due to burn potential
• Dipping & Dropping - One kiddo can dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper while another kiddo adds the dollop of chocolate on the top of it
  
• Placing M&M's - Kiddo(s) can place the M&M's on top of the marshmallows once the teaspoon of chocolate has been added on top
  
• Indulging - all adults and kiddos can indulge!
