For my movie night I made some rice krispie treats. But these were oh so much more. These were marshmallow dream bars. They have whole marshmallows in them. Take a look: They were delicious. Here’s the recipe: Ingredients: 1 standard box of rice krispies (I used generic Safeway brand) 1 stick of butter (plus some…
So, I really wanted to enter Cupcake Hero and this month’s ingredient is marshmallow. I love marshmallow which should be obvious. I sat and thought long and hard about something fun to make and came up with a few ideas but a lot of them just didn’t sit with me (or I had done them…
So you must understand how much I love marshmallows. I used the recipe which one my marshmallow off from Cooking for Engineers. For the bakesale, I made 4 different flavors in clockwise order from the top left: almond, peppermint, raspberry, and vanilla. They all came out wonderfully and fluffy.

I think I followed it to the letter, but…
In preparation for our bake sale for the dance troupe, last weekend I made 4 batches of marshmallows. Last weekend was quite busy. I made 4 batches of marshmallows (all different recipes), 1 successful batch of toffee, 1 dozen cupcakes and 1 dozen cinnamon buns. So it’ll take me a bit to post these. We’ll…
I tried making marshmallows a couple of weeks ago from this recipe from Cooking for Engineers. Those turned out well. My next endeavor was toffee with a recipe from the same website.
