Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Well, I typically don't celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday in third grade, but with all the attention on the new movie coming out and the hoopla chitter chatter, I decided that we would have a mini celebration (and I mean mini!!!). So, we took the pictures with our "stashes" and today we will eat our TRUFFULA TREES.
Made these guys last night.... well...ok... my two boys did (I was having dinner with my girlfriends!!!! Important, I know!). So, I was completely exhausted when I got home after trying to find cotton candy for the treetops so then I decided to finish the trees in the morning. With no cotton candy available, I had to think quickly. I had some marshmallows on hand and my mind began to race (along with the clock... mind you I had 6 minutes to get my 13 year old to school). I quickly rolled them in neon food coloring and plopped them on the top of the pretzel. And there you have it... AMAZING truffula trees. I hope they are a hit.
