This is the place where you can find fun things to do with the marshmallows you make.

Want to make some pretty Valentine’s Day treats that people will think are fun? Make a batch of marshmallows (something pink is nice) and let them cure. Cut out heart shapes in varying sizes, and write on them with food coloring pens, so that they look like the candy hearts that kids trade on Valentine’s Day. Don’t make them too small, or you won’t be able to write on them. If you have the time, make a few different marshmallow colors.

Here is a photo of what I made for a potluck dinner. They are snowballs, made with chocolate cake and piped with banana marshmallow. The combination was delicious. I didn’t use coconut on all of them, because my kids don’t care for it. The recipes are in my Marshmallows cookbook.

I also made these tasty chocolate-dipped marshmallows for the party. I dipped peppermint marshmallows at a diagonal, and I totally enrobed raspberry-cassis marshmallows. I used Callebaut dark chocolate for the dipping, and sprinkled shiny pink dust over them. (You can buy the dust at specialty food stores, or online at fantes.com.) The treats were very well received.
