The other night I decided to branch out from my normal holiday baking routine and make marshmallows. I'm glad I did. Although adding another thing to bake at the holidays is not always a good thing. My list is getting a little long. But these were worth it.

I found the recipe here. They are simple. I got tired of crushing candy canes, but it turned out okay because now every now and again while eating the mallows you get a little chunk of candy cane that adds a nice texture. I was seriously wishing for a kitchenaid mixer after about five minutes of mixing with a hand mixer and had to recruit John to do some mixing.

They are delicious in hot chocolate or all by themselves. Give them a try!
