They sold 4 chocolate covered marshmallows - decorated in a variety of ways from crushed nuts, to pretty-pretties on a wooden skewer. They were selling one stick of 4 marshmallows for $5.95. I thought this was a crazy price but I guess they must sell or they wouldn't be there. I'm thinking of trying to make some myself and sell them at a Christmas Craft fair this year. Any ideas from anyone? Do I need to wrap them somehow to keep them fresh? - not sure where I would find skinny celephane sleeves that don't cost too much. Just wondering where to store the final product and how far ahead I would be able to make them. Do I store them covered or uncovered - refrigerated or not?? Any ideas greatly appreciated!

I hope your party guests love them. :) I'm not positive about the shelf life, but you can definitely make them a day or two in advance and store them in an airtight container. Great, Joanna!

Room temperature is good. If you refrigerate them, you run the risk of getting condensation on them which will make the pretzels soggy, so don't do that!
