Ruby et Violette's Marshmallow Sticks

• 12 ounces wafers (in any color you like) for candy coating (see note)
• 48 marshmallows
• 1 28-inch lollipop sticks
• Plastic foam block or another support for the sticks
• Aluminum foil
• Wax paper
• 1 cup or more edible decorations (crushed nonpareils, jimmies, sequins, sprinkles)

1. Simmer candy wafers in the top of a double boiler, stirring occasionally (do not let them stiffen).
2. Thread 4 marshmallows on each stick.
3. Cover a square of plastic foam with aluminum foil.
4. Hold a marshmallow stick over the pan and spoon the melted coating over it, covering it more or less completely.
5. Hold over a piece of wax paper and sprinkle with edible decorations -- the zanier and more colorful the better.
6. Insert the stick into the foam.
7. Repeat with remaining marshmallows.
8. Refrigerate until coating hardens.
