Baby Shower Candy Pacifier Recipes

CANDY PACIFIERS

Steps:

• Tint frosting with food coloring if desired. Place a peas-size amount of frosting on the rounded side of each candy wafer; position a jelly bean standing up-right in the frosting. Let stand for 10-20 minutes or until set. Place wafers jelly bean side down on a wire rack with jelly beans between the wires., Carefully place another pea-size amount of frosting on the flat side of each candy wafer; position a Life Saver on edge in the frosting. Let stand for at least 1 day to dry. Tie a ribbon through each Life Saver.

LIFESAVERS CANDY PACIFIERS (BABY SHOWER) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Picture Tutorial Directions: Step 1: 2 dots of melted white chocolate on the smooth side of a Lifesaver, directly across from each other. (I use a toothpick.) Step 2: With the Lifesaver laying on counter (smooth side up), place another Lifesaver vertically (smooth side facing you) over the 2 dots of melted chocolate and hold in place for a few seconds, then set aside to harden completely in that position. Continue repeating this step until desired number of pacifiers is reached. (The "nipples" will be added in next step). Step 3: Starting with the first ones you made in Step 2, pick up and turn a half-made pacifier over (to the side with the hole showing) and line the edge of center hole with melted chocolate. (I used a toothpick.) Immediately go to Step 4 after each one. Step 4: Place a jellybean vertically in the center hole of Lifesaver. (I turn both smooth sides of the Lifesavers toward me, then align the side of jellybean that has the little dip in the center toward the front). After each one is completed, immediately jump to step 5. Step 5: After each "pacifier" is finished in Step 4, place it upright between the wires of a 1 to 2" high wire cooling rack. Continue Steps 3 through 5 until all pacifiers are finished. Let set for at least an hour (or longer) before transferring to a serving display. This is really important! If moved before completely hardened, they will come apart.

BABY PACIFIERS (SHOWER FAVORS)

Steps:

• Unwrap all the Lifesavers.
• Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole.
• Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, ROUND ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole.
• Flip the Lifesaver over.
• On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it.
• Place on flat surface and allow to dry.
• After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot.
