Chocolate-Covered Marshmallows on Sticks

Thread a marshmallow on a lollipop stick, dip it in chocolate, and hand the sprinkle shakers to your kids — that's the whole recipe. These are great for classroom parties because they're portion-controlled and easy to wrap individually. Little hands genuinely cannot mess these up.
