Marshmallows!

Isn't Easter about marshmallows? Peeps and such? I can't eat peeps in front of my daughter- the whole corn sensitivity issue (and corn syrup). So we made our own marshmallows at home using this recipe from www.sugarplumvisions.com . There are lots of marshmallow recipes online. Many use corn syrup. Some use egg whites. A few just use sugar and gelatin for the main ingredients. Look through five or six different recipes and see which one suits your cooking style and needs the best.

Ours were not quite as pretty and neat as the ones pictured in the recipe, but ours are sooooo tasty!

We did not freeze the marshmallow overnight, as suggested in the recipe. We let it sit out for about 4 hours, cut it up into the squares, and dusted them all with organic powdered sugar. They tasted good then, but wow, they are PERFECT after sitting overnight in a cookie jar! Yum. I will be making these again.
