Somehow, I got culinarily ambitious and wanted to try to make some homemade marshmallows for Easter. Not only that, but Donna was going to be away all Easter weekend, so it would just be me and the girls to make them. I found a few recipes online and picked one that sounded fairly easy.
I was pleasantly surprised when the experience was fun and the marshmallows turned out nicely. At first, I was a little underwhelmed by the results, since they tasted almost identical to a fresh store-bought marshmallow, but after getting several compliments about them I'm changing my moderate opinion of them and have decided they're fresh and yummy. It sure was a blast making them with my 6-year-old daughters.
I'm still looking forward to playing with the recipe a bit by adding food coloring or flavoring. Doesn't a homemade peppermint-infused marshmallow floating in a mug of hot chocolate sound wonderful?
