    Chef #603588's Note:

    This is a childhood favorite... it takes time but its reasonably simple to make. In addition to other ingredients you will need a styrofoam plate, a quart sized jar and wooden stick (shishkabob sticks work well but be sure to cut the point off) ice cream sticks work well too.
