Desserts for kids to celebrate the upcoming NASCAR Save Mart 350 in Sonoma on June 22 at Infineon Raceway.

Racing fans of all ages might love these sweet treats, which are easy to make and serve in honor of the NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma Valley starting on Saturday, June 22.

Marshmallow Treats Race Cars
(Makes 6 race cars)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–1 1/2 teaspoons whipping cream
9 marshmallow treats
8 swiss cake rolls
12 hard cinnamon candies
6 jellybeans

Combine sugar and whipping cream, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Cut 3 marshmallow treats in half, crosswise. Spread a thin layer of frosting mixture on each marshmallow treats half; place each half, frosting side down, in the center of each of the remaining 6 whole marshmallow treats, pressing gently into place. Let stand 5 minutes or until set. Turn race cars on their sides. Slice the swiss cake rolls ¼-inch thick, making enough slices for 32 wheels. Slice a few extras, as well, in case they are needed. Spread a small amount of frosting mixture in the center of each of 16 of the slices of swiss cake rolls. Press 2 slices gently onto one side of each race car to create wheels. Let stand 15 minutes or until set. Turn race cars over; repeat with frosting and remaining 16 slices of swiss cake rolls. Spread a small amount of frosting on hard cinnamon candies; place 2 candies on each car’s “nose” to form 2 headlights each. Spread a small amount of frosting on flat sides of each jellybean candy; place 1 jellybean on the front of each car to form a “grill.” Let stand 15 minutes or until set. May be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days if not served immediately. .
