Lavender is my favorite scent and flavor. I am INCREDIBLY SURPRISED I've never put a lavender recipe on my blog before today! I even went to a Lavender And Wine Festival at Matanzas Creek in California a few years back to celebrate my love for this beautiful herb.

When I got the Taylor & Colledge lavender extract paste in the mail, the envelope was lightly scented with lavender and I actually turned it inside out to take in the intoxicating scent. These marshmallow treats are no less intoxicating.

I followed the directions on the back of the Rice Krispies cereal box and added a little extract paste to impart the floral flavor. To further drive the point home that this little guys are lavender, I used purple melting chocolate to dip and then dipped them in a bowl of purple sprinkles from Sweets & Treats.

I love these sprinkles! Not only does the site have sprinkles, there are also cups, straws, fun bags and cupcake liners with all different colors, designs and decals. The 4 oz. bags of sprinkles are more than enough for any project you may have.

So here's to getting back to school in the fall and adding a little special treat to your lunch bag!
