Marshmallow Bees for Rosh Hashanah

Yummy marshmallow bees!

This is a fun project that my kiddos and I made to get ready for Rosh Hashanah. In case you can’t tell, baking and doing dessert-type things is my favorite! I came up with this idea to top the honey cupcakes we are planning, and the kids wanted to help. They are cute and sweet and lots of fun!

Starting to dip…

I used both big and small marshmallows, yellow candy melts (the Gefen brand is parve, but dairy brands are widely available), (parve) chocolate chips, sprinkles, and a food color pen for the face details.

My dippers are plastic forks with two tines broken off. I’m fancy like that!

Melt the candy melts and dip the marshmallows, letting them dry on a wire rack or parchment paper. I used these round sprinkles for eyes on the big marshmallows and wings on the smaller ones – but wait to stripe before you put those wings on the little guys!

The stripes are chocolate chips melted with a touch of coconut oil and put into a piping bag. We broke mini marshmallows in half and squished them flat to make the wings for the bigger bees, adding while the chocolate was wet. I had some extra so I piped some hearts to use for serving garnishes.

Put them into mini muffin cups and you’re ready to go!

We made these pomegranates (free template here!) and put a bee inside for the kids to deliver to their friends along with our annual Rosh Hashanah card.

Cupcakes, marshmallow bees, and pomegranates aren’t quite enough, though. I suppose I’ll have to go and make some of the other stuff on my 2020 RH menu. Right? I should do that.

Are you making anything fun? Anything new? Any favorites?
