Surf and Turf Dessert - Guest Post by Susan from Love in the Kitchen

Howdy Addicted to Recipes readers!  I'm Susan from Love in the Kitchen.  I'm a lawyer by day and you'll most likely find me negotiating contracts.  But in my free time, you'll find me where my heart lies - either in the kitchen or the garden.

At Love in the Kitchen, I share my passion for cooking easy and tasty homemade food with fresh ingredients with you.  Today I'm guest-posting here at Addicted to Recipes!  I think found the perfect recipe to share here as well - I hope y'all think so too!

The Mr and I saw something similar to these recently, but they were made with goldfish instead of Swedish Fish.  We decided to modify them to be all sweet (dessert should have candy after all.) And while we were shopping for the ingredients, we saw Teddy Grahams and The Mr (who has a great imagination) knew right then that we had to make this into A Surf and Turf Dessert.

A Surf and Turf Dessert

Ingredients (makes approximately 40 pops):

• 1 bag light blue chocolate melts (found in the baking aisle of most craft stores)
• 1 bag green chocolate melts
• 2 – 10.5 ounce bag large marshmallows
• 1 box graham cracker crumbs
• 1 package Swedish Fish
• 1 box Teddy Grahams
• Large white pearl nonpareils
• 2 cups shredded coconut, tinted green
• 40 lollipop sticks

Directions:

First we'll make the "Surf"

Melt blue chocolate melts according to package.  Do not over-melt or the chocolate will be difficult to work with.

Place lollipop sticks in marshmallows. Dip marshmallows into the chocolate. Tap excess chocolate off the marshmallow (or spread additional chocolate where it does not cover the marshmallow) before proceeding.

Before the chocolate dries, dip the bottom in graham cracker crumbs. Add a Swedish Fish and 2 white pearl non pareils to the side.

Set aside to dry while you make the "Turf".

Now let's make the "Turf"!

Melt green chocolate melts according to package.  Do not over-melt or the chocolate will be difficult to work with.

Place lollipop sticks in marshmallows. Dip marshmallows into the chocolate. Tap excess chocolate off the marshmallow (or spread additional chocolate where it does not cover the marshmallow) before proceeding.

Before the chocolate dries, dip the bottom in the shredded coconut "grass" and dip one side in graham cracker crumb "tree trunk". Add two Teddy Grahams to each marshmallow.

Allow to dry and then enjoy!

This is the sweetest Surf and Turf you'll ever eat - and the cutest.  One word of caution - kids LOVE these!  You'll need to keep one aside for yourself if you've got kids around.

I sure hope you make and enjoy this dessert. And THANKS so much Dawn for the opportunity to show this to your readers!
