    <h2>My Favorite Things</h2>

    <ul class="favorite-things">
        <li>Kittens</li>
        <li>Rainbows</li>
        <li>Unicorns</li>
        <li>Sprinkles</li>

Just pass the checkbox to the prepend method as an argument and you should pass:

$('.favorite-things li').each(function() {
  $(this).prepend('<input type="checkbox"/>');
});
