Chocolate Stuffed Marshmallows

I know you've all had a chocolate covered marshmallow, but have you ever had a Chocolate STUFFED Marshmallow?  A few weeks ago, I went to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival in San Francisco with a few friends.  There were so many sweet treats and sweet alcoholic drinks to consume and it was an overall wonderful experience!

One of the booths at the festival was Gud Fud, and they were handing out the Chocolate Stuffed Marshmallows to taste.  As soon as I tried them, I was wishing I had a graham cracker to go along with it because it's the easiest way to create a S'more, in two simple steps.  Since the marshmallow is already stuffed with the chocolate, all you need is one graham cracker, and voila!  

The marshmallow is fluffy and smooth and when you bite into it, it tastes as if nutella has been stuffed inside! Creamy and decadent chocolate mixed with a fluffy, soft, and smooth marshmallow equals some happy tastebuds! So if you don't have time to get all of the fixing for S'mores and you happen to have some Gud Fud Chocolate Stuffed Marshmallows around, grab a graham cracker and enjoy!

Giant Tootsie Pop

Now this is something Mr. Owl will go crazy for!  Not just one, or two, but 10 lollipops inside a Giant Tootsie Pop!! So many and so delicious!  

Tootsie Pops come in Cherry, Orange, Grape, Raspberry, and Chocolate and they ALL have the chocolatey Tootsie Roll center.  That perfect combination of hard candy and soft...and fruity and chocolatey...Just made for each other!  But, how many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop?  Ever tried it?  I can't help but bite into it when I'm halfway through eating my pop.  And my favorite flavor would have to be the Raspberry.  Raspberry covered chocolate because you taste the raspberry first and then get to the chocolate.

I loved seeing the Giant Tootsie Pop when they got delivered to me by Diversified Licensing, just the site of these Giant Tootsie pops made me smile.  I didn't want to even open them because they were perfect decor for my room.  When I finally had it in my hand, it was like opening a present.  I shook it to hear what was inside, unwrapped the wrapper, and found a surprise, 10 Tootsie pops inside!

It made me wish that lollipops grew from trees, oh wait..maybe they do according to that picture!  How cool would that be if the world just became candyland and completely edible.  

If you're having a party, you can buy about 20 of these and make a lollipop trail.  They stick right in the ground and are so fun to look at and eventually eat.  Or buy 5 of them and use them as a lollipop bouquet at your rehearsal dinner.  There's so many fun things you can do with these Giant Tootsie Pops, the world may never know!!
