Homemade Peppermint Marshmallow Squares
Last night Liz made a batch of homemade marshmallows. While I’m not a big fan of marshmallows, the whole process was pretty interesting to see (particularly getting the sticky substance out of the pan to begin with).
This batch has a particularly pepperminty flavor, which is heightened by a layer of crushed candycanes sprinkled on top.
This batch (also pepperminty) has a clean top. Apparently, like her fondant cakes, a combination of powdered sugar and cornstarch are used to help prevent against accidental sticking, and for ease of handling.

Oh man, those babies + some hot chocolate sounds divine. YUM!
