'Nail Polish" Treats

When my granddaughter celebrated her 7th birthday with a spa themed party, I made these "nail polish" treats. We put them on top of cupcakes.  They are easy to make and so cute!

Ingredients

Marshmallows (make sure the bag has not been smashed so the marshmallows are nice and plump.
Tootsie rolls
Toothpicks
Various colors of colored sugar (the type found in the cake decorating section)
Spray bottle filled with water

Instructions

Pour a single color of sugar into a shallow bowl.
Stick a toothpick in a marshmallow and spray lightly with water. Be sure to cover the entire marshmallow with water. Allow any excess water to drip off.
Roll marshmallow in colored sugar to coat completely.
Place on waxed paper to dry.

Unwrap tootsie roll and place a toothpick into it.
Remove toothpick used to roll marshmallow in sugar and replace it with the tootsie roll.

Store covered so that the marshmallows do not dry out.
If desired, place on "nail polish" treat on top of each cupcake for a birthday treat.
