Edible Indian Corn

Edible Indian Corn

4 tablespoons of butter

4 cups of mini marshmallows

5 cups of puffed corn cereal

1-1/3 cups diced dried fruit (raisins, papaya, cranberries, and apricots)

Fruit leather

In a large pot, melt butter and mini marshmallows over low heat (about 5 minutes).

Remove the mixture from the stove and use a wooden spoon to stir in puffed corn cereal and diced dried fruit. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

Using buttered hands, shape each treat by pressing 1/3 cup of the mixture around a Popsicle stick. Add fruit leather husks to the bottom of the ear, slightly moistening them to help them stick if needed.
