Marshmallow Dream Bars

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…

Cow Tale Cupcakes

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…

Flavored Marshmallows

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.

Marshmallow wrap up

Here are the end results. Don’t they look lovely? And here’s what I learned: I wouldn’t make the video recipe (#2). It was way too stiff and I have a couple of good recipes now. I wouldn’t make the first Martha Stewart recipe (#1). It never fully set (it’s still not set a week later).…

Marshmallows yet again

Marshmallows again

The second batch of marshmallows was from this video I got off Design*Sponge. I should try not to follow recipes from videos because I must have missed something or maybe they mistyped something on the video, but either way, something went seriously wrong with this recipe. I think I followed it to the letter, but…

Blue marshmallows

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…

Toffee Attempt 1

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. Here are the results of my first attempt: Apparently my spatula is not actually made of silicone and cannot withstand high temperatures.
