Notes
S'more Marshmallow Pop - use a kitchen torch, butane lighter or your gas flame on your stovetop, or even the wood burning stove if you have one - to lightly char the outside of your dehydrated marshmallow. This gives the flavor of campfire s'mores. But it's certainly okay to leave that step out. Dip in chocolate, then in graham cracker crumbs.Peppermint Marshmallow Pops - Use white chocolate and crushed peppermint candies to create a hot cocoa stirring stick that is perfect for Christmas Eve hot cocoa bars.
Other Flavor Combination Ideas
Nutella and nuts - these won't firm up the way that melting chocolates will, but made the day of a party will work just fine.
Chocolate and pretzels
White chocolate and crushed graham cracker cereal or fruity loops
Chocolate and mini chocolate candies
Peanut butter and pretzels (you can thin the peanut butter with maple syrup or water)
