- 6 tbsp Strawberry Nesquik powdered drink mix
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- 36 oz Milk
Instructions

- Place another candy coated half sphere upside down on the plate and move around to melt the rim, rubbing it around in the excess candy on the plate.
- Stick that half sphere on top of the other, and very gently secure the two together. *They should go together no problem, but if you do have an issue, simply rub a little extra melted candy along the seam where there is a gap.
