homemade marshmallow recipe

Merry Christmas Y’all!  This is Kallee from Creative Southern Home back to share another fun recipe for you and your kiddos.  Homemade marshmallows are a fun treat to make together as a family.  They are great in hot chocolate, alone as a sweet treat, and dipped in chocolate they are fabulous.  They do get a little sticky, but just sprinkle with some powdered sugar and toss them around.  When you are cutting them up spray your knife with some cooking spray to make it easier to cut.

We are going to add these to our goodie plates we are giving out when we go caroling on Sunday.
