Before Dollar Tree packs away all of their summer merchandise and replaces it all with back-to-school, autumn, and (dare I say it?) Christmas stuff, you may want to check for sand molds. Beth from Hungry Happenings has a great use for them: making molded marshmallow treats! You could also use the fun shaped ice cube trays that Dollar Tree has been carrying for every recent season to make smaller, bite-sized versions. Can you think of anything else you could use for making these besides sand molds and ice cube trays? Please share; we love brainstorms! [how to make molded marshmallows]

Project estimate:

Sand mold, $1
Marshmallows, on hand or $1
Food coloring, on hand
Flavor oils (optional), on hand
Butter, on hand
Powdered sugar, on hand

Total: $1 and up

Tags: butter, candy, food coloring, ice cube tray, marshmallows, powdered sugar, sand mold, snack, toys, treat
