Flowerpot Muffin

Kids love to get involved in the kitchen. This is the perfect recipe to hone their baking skills. With any luck they’ll soon be able to whip up a batch for your birthday or even Mother’s Day

• Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 1 minutes
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 SPAR Freshline Chocolate Chip muffin
• 6 pink and white marshmallows
• 25 ml SPAR icing sugar
• 15 ml boiling water
• 1 colourful sweet such as Smarties/Astro’s/JellyTots

Method

1. Use a baller-tool or teaspoon to dig out a ball of muffin from its centre.
2. Using kitchen scissors, snip 4 marshmallows (2 pink and 2 white) into a mug. Pour over boiling water from the kettle. Stir this until the marshmallows begin to melt. Microwave for 8-10 seconds on HIGH power. Stir to a smooth sauce.
3. Fill the muffin cavity with some of the sauce. Pour the remainder in a pool on the serving side-plate.
4. Using kitchen scissors, snip off 4 slices from each of a pink and white marshmallow; squeeze one end of each slice to form a petal shape, and position them on the muffin in an overlapping fashion like a flower.
5. Place a sweet in the centre of this flower. Serve immediately.
