I decided since I had a box of them left over I would make some too. BUT I had no sucker/lollipop sticks! Living in a rural area and not wanting to make a 50 mile round trip to buy any I started racking my brain what I could use instead.
This is what I came up with...
I had a package of bamboo forks and wood skewers. I settled on the skewers cutting each one into 3 pieces. It worked like a charm! I saved the $3 for the sticks and 50 miles of gas.
My boys like milk chocolate so I used some chips I had in the freezer. It didnt take many to make a dozen suckers. I also didnt have any of the nonpareils so I sprinkled mine with red sugar that was leftover from last year.
Then I wrapped them using some valentine heart sandwich baggies I had on hand (bought for $1) and used some red string from my craft stash.
It was a fun morning using only items I had on hand making it a very frugal project. Kiddo immediately asked if he could have one when he came in from school.
What a great idea! You were pretty ingenious making those sticks too.
