{all you need. target actually has everything, one and done!}
I posted on Instagram last week a preview of my homemade peppermint marshmallows. I had seen them on another blog and decided it would be fun for the holidays. I used Martha Stewart's recipe here: link (includes video!). I have now made it 3 times and have it memorized; it is so simple! Also since the recipe is just sugar, it cleans up well with water. The recipe is simple but I've included some tips I learned along the way.
As you know by now, I would normally never make something with these ingredients. I refused to tell Paul what was in them and didn't even bother him to try them. I am giving them out to friends and using them for a hot cocoa bar I'm putting together (more on that this week!). I decided to let it go and just have fun with it. I hope you do too!
{a hand mixer would work, but a standing mixer is much easier}
{the recipe says to mix for 12 minutes, but I only mixed for 5-6 minutes or until thick & sticky}
{coat your spatula in pam or vegetable oil which will make spreading easier}
{I bought crushed peppermint candy at Target for the topping}
{let sit overnight for best results}
{line the pan with plastic wrap then use pam or oil to ensure the marshmallow will pop out easily}
{you can cut into square or get creative with small cookie cutters}s
{this sweet baby won't be getting close to these treats}
{sorry sweet pea}
