Supplies:

• 6 disposable piping bags
• 6 mini rubber bands
• 6 pieces of ribbon, cut to 21 inches (I got mine at Hobby Lobby, here’s one on Amazon)

Ingredients:

• 1.5 teaspoons chocolate chips
• ¼ cup mini marshmallows
• 15 graham crackers
• 10.8 ounce bag Hershey’s kisses
• 18 pink marshmallows

Instructions:

• Add ¼ teaspoon (about four chocolate chips) to the piping bag. Shake the bag a little to make sure they drop all the way to the tip of the bag.
• Next, add two teaspoons of mini marshmallows to the piping bag. 
• Break each graham cracker into four pieces on the perforated lines. If you are having trouble breaking them evenly, you can use a serrated knife and cut them using a sawing motion. Add 9-10 pieces to the bag. (I first inserted a stack of 4 crackers and then stuffed the rest around that stack.)
• Next, add a handful of Hershey’s kisses on top of the graham crackers. I used 10 per bag.
• Then add three pink marshmallows on top.
• Use a mini rubber band to tie the bag shut.
• Finish your treat bags off with a pretty bow. I used ⅞ inch light pink checked ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
