If you're looking for something that's a little less energy-intensive than the usual Halloween "candy" recipes that require that you bake, fry, pop or mold, but is still seasonal and tasty, here's the recipe for you. Stick marshmallows onto 4 inch lollipop sticks and put in the freezer for fifteen minutes until they get firm. Melt one cup of white chocolate melts in a double-boiler slowly until they are liquid (you can use black or orange melts for greater Halloween effect). Remove marshmallows from the freezer and swirl in the chocolate. Do it in layers to make it look like a mummy or create a peak at the top to make it look like a ghost.

Who didn't love popsicles when they were a kid? I know that I did. They were sweet, refreshing and turned your tongue bright colors - a crucial popsicle feature for kids. After a while, I acquired a set of plastic popsicle molds and moved away from the neon, ice-cream truck offerings. I would freeze sodas, fruit juices and, occasionally, stuff them full of semi-soft ice cream (so I could eat if off a stick). With summer coming up, I think it's a good time to relive those childhood memories and start making some popsicles at home. Popsicle-making is also a great activity to do with your kids, since they can pick out their own flavors. For the neon tongue look, take a tip from Elise and add a few drops of food coloring to the frozen popsicles.
