Hello there! My name is Melissa and I’m the girl behind the Polka Dot Chair Blog. My goal at the Polka Dot Chair is to inspire you to want to make something! Whether it’s a sewing project, a craft or a yummy recipe I want you to leave feeling inspired to create!
Today I am so excited to be participating in my second Bake Along! Thank you so much to Rachel for having me back for a second year. I’m going to share with you a recipe that’s been in my family for years. My Mom always used to make these yummy bites to take to friends and family at Christmas time. I loved that she made them but hated that she gave them away!
They are an addicting combination of Graham Cracker, Marshmallow and Coconut and I can NEVER eat just one, so I always give them away too!
I love giving handmade and home cooked gifts for the Holidays and I love thinking of fun and easy ways to package them up. So today I have for you not only a recipe, but also a FREE printable for the sticker on the front of the cups! Stop by my blog, enter the giveaway and download your free printable!
Now for the recipe!

I’m speechless!! These look DELICIOUS! So creative.. I can’t wait to give them a try!
These looked so delicious and yummy until I read “Marshmallows” ..
They must have a purpose but could they be substituted with something else? I love this idea except for them…thanks.
Quick question – is the 30 squares 2 rectangles or 4 rectangles? I hope that makes sense 🙂
Shannon, I’m pretty sure that 30 squares is equal to 2 rectangles… but I’m going to forward your question on to Melissa and we shall see!
Here’s what Melissa Says: “It’s 30 squares or 15 full crackers or 60 small rectangles 🙂 “
how long will it last?
