Everyone who emailed me about the bake swap should have received an email detailing their swap partner. If you haven’t got yours, let me know 
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my children (Nairn in particular) are obsessed with starbucks and in particular with their ooey gooey marshmallow twizzlers? Now I’m not a skinflint by any stretch of the imagination but £1.50 for three marshmallows and a bit of chocolate is extortion in my book and definitely comes under the veil of, “Things wot I could do myself for cheaper”. I should mention as Apryl reminded me that you can do this with bananas too, I usually skewer the banana and stick it in the freezer for about an hour so that it’s easier and more solid to work with.
So! Stick a few marshmallows on a skewer like so. Melt your 100g bar of chocolate in the microwave or in a double broiler, and dip the skewer into the melted chocolate, lift and tap the skewer on the side of the bowl to let any big drips fall off.
Holding your skewer over a bowl, shake some hundreds and thousands over your skewer. Dip the end into the bowl to make sure it’s coated.
Place your skewer into a glass and put in the fridge to let the chocolate set

It’s a shame my kids don’t like them because they look fantastic.
Great idea, thanks! Think I’m going to need lots of quick make ideas this summer to keep litte one busy and me more or less sane.
The price of them in Starbucks, and for that matter Thorntons, is shocking! Have you given your children melted marshmallows sandwiched between chocolate digestives? It is REALLY good!
Oooh in response to comment #3 – they be s’mores in the US – they call the biscuits graham crackers, but they’re essentially digestives
But they do look incredibly good and my DS would love them bananas – he likes anything that involves bananas!
Looks yummy! Not sure if my kids would like them but me and Steven definitely would
yummy and fun to make ***makes mental note for summer hols***
For the grown-ups, dip large strawberries in the chocolate, put on baking parchment and pop in the fridge until the chocolate is set – yesterday I did some with posh chocolate with bits of orange in it – extra yummy!!
