Cooking instruction summary:

Melt the butter over medium high heat in a large sauce pan. Once the butter has melted stir in the marshmallows. Cook them, stirring frequently, until they have melted and are smooth.Remove from the heat and then stir in the Fruity Pebbles.Let the mixture cool for a few minutes -- it makes it easier to work with.

I usually melt just a square or two at a time, stirring frequently, and removing the pan from the heat when necessary. Sometimes white chocolate can be a little fussy and you don't want it to burn.Drop the balls into the melted vanilla bark one at a time, spooning the liquid over them and then lifting them out with a fork to let the excess drip off. Place them back on the baking sheet, far enough apart that they don't touch, add the sprinkles, and let them set up.Eat!

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
