"This is a delicious sweet treat. If the peanut butter mixture gets too thick before you're finished dipping the marshmallows, you can reheat it carefully to thin it a bit."

- Cool on waxed paper.
- I put marshmallows on a wooden skewer to dip them.
- I use a spoon to help cover the marshmallow with the hot mixture.

- A butter knife is helpful to carefully pry the thingie off the skewer.

These are a hoot -- they remind me of sweets I made from the Betty Crocker Junior cookbook in the 1960s, so I'm serving them at a 1950s card party I'm having this weekend. Thanks, Mae, for this nostalgic, fun thingy!
