Rainbow Marshmallow Pride Snack

These Rainbow skewers also make a great snack to serve up during Pride Month. Pride month is observed throughout the month of June to honor the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, an event in LGBTQ history that laid the foundation for pride. Pride’s month-long celebration calls for greater unity, visibility, and equality for the LGBTQ community, something we call can get behind.

Taking the time to teach your kids about Pride month while making these snacks is a great afternoon plan.

These snacks can be served anytime of the year to show your Pride support as well of course. If you want to make your Pride Day Skewer snacks even more colorful consider purchasing mini rainbow marshmallows instead of the regular white ones! This will add even more of a rainbow look.

Rainbow Skewer Snacks Recipe

Time: 12-15 Minutes
Servings: 8 Skewers

Ingredients

Above view of ingredients required: bowl of large white marshmallows, bowl of mini marshmallows, bag of sweetarts ropes, five bamboo skewers, and scissors.

Directions:

  1. Using kitchen shears, cut 4 bamboo skewers in half. The edges can sometimes be a little rough, so make sure to trim any excess pieces, and try to smooth the ends with your fingers, as you don’t want any pieces coming off in the marshmallows.

  1. Take one skewer half and put a miniature marshmallow approximately 1” from the end. Next, add a regular marshmallow, keeping the marshmallow in a vertical position. Then add another miniature marshmallow, and push it over until all three marshmallows are on the skewer, with little or no skewer showing.
  1. Next, push the skewer through a rainbow rope, making sure the rope hangs a little bit lower than the marshmallows. This will allow the “rainbow” to stand up for serving. Bend the rainbow rope, and push the skewer through the other end of the rope, creating an arch.

  1. Repeat step 2, adding marshmallows on the other end of the skewer. When you’re ready to serve, you can either serve the rainbows standing up, or lying down. These are best served immediately, as the marshmallows harden once they set out. You could make them a day ahead, but be sure to keep them stored in an airtight container.

Tips/Helpful Information:

  • If you have difficulty finding the Sweetart Rainbow Ropes, you could substitute AirHead Xtremes Rainbow Berry Belts. These are usually at most grocery stores and some gas stations.
  • These are really easy to make, and make a great treat for kids to help with.
  • Keep some baby wipes handy while assembling these, as your hands can get rather sticky.
