How to add a Lollipop Stick to Marshmallows

To make a Marshmallow Pop you need to have a Stick, right?

well it may sound a waste of time, this next trick...but believe me...it is necessary!

If you just  go ahead stick a "stick"   without water, the marshmallow may move around the stick...I have even seen people add chocolate to the stick...but is much easier...

To add a stick to your Marshmallows you'll need: Water, Sticks (I prefer paper sticks for safety reasons with kids) and your Marshmallows.

Take your stick and add water to the end, and shake off the excess.
