Ingredients

  • Marshmallows any size
  • Banana Pocky Sticks
  • Kraft Caramel Bits Can also use Peanut Butter
  • Cotton Swabs Box for Display optional

Instructions

  • Cut off the ends of the Pocky sticks to the length of a Q-tip. You can place a Q-tip up to it to measure it.
  • Lay a piece of parchment or wax paper on a tray.
  • Add some marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for a few seconds at a time until melted. Be careful not to over cook and burn them.
  • Roll the ends of the Pocky sticks into the melted marshmallows till it looks like a Q-tip. Place the sticks onto the parchment or wax paper and place in freezer when all sticks are done for about 10-15 minutes.
  • They will still be a little sticky as marshmallow will not harden but once you add the melted caramel it will be less sticky.
  • In a bowl add some caramel bits and melt in few second increments stirring in between until creamy and smooth.
  • Carefully lift up the sticks off the paper (may need to use a knife to loosen them) trying not to break them. Dip each end of the dirty Q-tips into the melted caramel to make it look like earwax. Place back on the parchment or wax paper to allow to harden. Can place back in freezer to speed up the hardening process. 
  • Serve on a platter with a Q-tips box for display and enjoy this gross disgusting Halloween treat!
