Dirty Q-Tips

Now, I know what you’re thinking… Ew, Gross! And yes, you are correct.

While these are made to look gross and disgusting, they are actually pretty tasty. Plus, they are easy to make! They actually use just 3 ingredients.

You can fake everyone out at your next Halloween party or even April Fool’s Day celebration by making these Dirty Q-Tips that are entirely edible!

The difference with these Dirty Q-tip snacks is that they are made from edible sticks using Pocky candy. Others are typically made with lollipop sticks.

Trust me, these will be a fun and gross conversation starter and one you’ll want to make again and again!

How to Make Dirty Q-Tips Snacks

Ingredients:

• 20 Mini Marshmallows
• 10 Pink Strawberry Cream Pocky
• 4 Tablespoons Caramel Bits

Directions:

Line a small baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper.

Break the uncovered ends of the pocky off.

Push a marshmallow onto each end of the pocky sticks.

Place the caramel bits in a small dish and microwave for 1-2 minutes, stopping to stir every 15-20 seconds.

Once creamy, use the tip of a spoon to wipe a small amount of the caramel onto each marshmallow tip.

Place them on the prepared pan and then chill them for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Things to Note:

• Pink Pocky is normally strawberry flavored. However, I know things differ in various areas of the world, so any pink Pocky or something similar will work. Other colors of Pocky will work as well, the pink ones just matched the q-tips I owned.
• The caramel will want to harden on you pretty quickly, so move fast.
• The Pocky will want to melt if handled too much. So, I kept it in the fridge in between steps to help alleviate that issue.
• Store these in the fridge in a sealed container for best results.
