Homemade Marshmallows
By Carley Steiner
Summer is fast approaching, it’s time to indulge in longer days, warmer nights and
things cooked outside over a fire. While there will be a lot of folks giving you tips on
the best way to use your grill or campfire to make just the perfect cut of meat, I
thought I would be better served to help with dessert. What better way to end a great
BBQ or camp night than with homemade treats! And what better treat than the
classic S’more. I’m going to help take your S’mores to the next level with these little
pillows of sweetness that you can easily make in your own kitchen. You’ll never buy a
bag of Jet-Puff again and anyone you serve them to will definitely be impressed.
