After reading The Legend of the Candy Cane and discovering the significance behind this classic Christmas treat, we found a little inspiration from Elizabeth Foss and decided to try homemade peppermint marshmallows. I don’t really like marshmallows and I LOVED these! I couldn’t stop eating them- plain, in hot cocoa, even in my morning coffee!
Myriam (dressed in African garb!) unwraps peppermints
The kids were hard at work unwrapping the mints while I set to work in the kitchen.
The bowl slowly fills up
Marshmallows are forming
One in the hand... one in the mouth- no wonder he is so happy!
The marshmallows before final formation
Letting them set
Time to salvage the remains
And enjoy!
So lickable!
Even the toddler gets some peppermint sugar!

You can find the recipe here for the yummy yummy marshmallows. You will not be sorry if you try these- and they are easy. So worth the temporary sticky mess!
