Making Marshmallows . . .

The other night . . .

I asked my 9 year old daughter Hattie to pick a recipe or two

from an old Martha Stewart Holiday issue I had sitting on the counter . . .

I thought it would be fun to make some holiday goodies together!

Hattie sat at the table a long time!!

She then came back with this huge list - and I mean HUGE . . .

starting with these very cool marshmallow snowflakes!

Hmmm - I thought . . .

I have never made marshmallows before . . .

  

Let's just say it was an absolute BLAST . . .

from watching the mixture become this white . . . thick . . . sticky foam-like substance . . .

to spreading it in a pan and sprinkling them with powdered sugar . . . just like snow . . .

and then cutting them up into fun holiday shapes . . .

The stars were our favorite!!  

 

 Yes - I truly felt like a kid again . . . laughing and smiling the whole time . . .

playing - like a child!!

I am not really sure who had more fun - Hattie or myself!

I just know that I can't wait to try them in some hot cocoa!!

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas?  I know I am!! 

And - if the snow doesn't come . . .
you will find me making more of these - perhaps in the shape of a snowman! :)

Happy Holidays everyone! Peace and Blessings to all of you!!

The Marshmallow Snowflake Recipe

can be found here on the Martha Stewart website!!

Just add the confectioner's sugar for dusting . . .
and pretend it is snowing!!
