Have you ever seen anything so cute! I made 4 and when you break it down, each cost about $5 to make.
Here's what you'll need to make your own "sundae"
~ one sundae glass
~ m&ms
~ styrofoam
~ candy (I used peppermint nougats)
~ straw
~ hot glue gun
~ ribbon
I didn't have any sundae glasses on hand so I headed to the Goodwill and was lucky enough to find 4 @ $1.00 each. I soaked them in bleach before I used them since they were second hand. After cleaning them up, I tied a ribbon on the bottom and they were ready for the m&m's...
I took a medium sized styrofoam ball and cut one end of the styrofoam to make it flat, then just started randomly hot gluing the candy onto the styrofoam, making it full and symmetrical. Since the styrofoam was a little smaller than the rim of the glass, I put a toothpick in the styrofoam to help secure it down into the m&m's.
To finish off the look, I took one straw, cut it in half and hot glued the pieces on.
We will be getting together with friends this weekend for Valentine's Day and I've got one for each couple. What a great centerpiece wouldn't you say! When I originally saw this idea, I wanted to make them for my college daughter and her roommates but decided against it. I don't know how they would hold up being packed and shipped to Arizona!
(I wish I could remember where I originally saw his idea so I could give credit where credit is due but I blog hop so much I couldn't tell you. Thank you fellow blogger for the great idea!)

What a wonderful idea for centerpieces. I love that you bought the sundae glasses at Goodwill. I really like it when a plan comes together. Good job, friend.

Those are absolutely adorable! I don't have those kind of glasses but I have tons of canning jars - maybe I could adapt your idea? I'm thinking I can!

Those are darling and what a cute gift it will make for your friends.
FRY SAUCE is the best ever!!!!
I think it is a "Utah" thing and boy do I miss it.
I make my own here....a little bit of ketchup, miracle whip/mayo, a titch of BBQ sauce.
yummy
So creative, Linda! Very festive.
Just as cute as they can be...!! And we would be all over the edible part of that decorative creation. It wouldn't be cute too long in our house. It'd be our tummies.
Those are so cute! What a great idea.
I'm sure your friends are going to enjoy those.
Fun, I want to try!!!!
I love it! I am saving that to make--my daughters would love it!
