I first made homemade marshmallows last year (posted here). They were fairly simple to make and were a hit so I made a couple more batches this year. Some plain, some with chocolate, and more dipped in chocolate with crushed candy canes. These came with me to a cookie exchange and were a hit!
You could use store bought marshmallows and dip them in chocolate, but these are SO MUCH BETTER! Package them up with some homemade cocoa mix and it's the perfect gift this winter.







how creative! you'd never think you could make something like marshmellows!
ReplyDeleteLol. Okay, so guess what I made yesterday to give out as gifts? One of the things I made was (store bought) marshmallows dipped in chocolate and crushed candy canes. Nice. :) Yet again we're on the same page...
