Usually, during this time of the year, I am busily baking and putting together goodie boxes to give to friends and family. This year, however, I am having trouble finding the motivation to bake. Finding the time between my three jobs and caring for a toddler is also an issue.
I eked out some time to make these peppermint marshmallows, and I'm glad I did. I'm always a bit hesitant to use mint flavoring. If it is too strong, your food ends up tasting like medecine. Luckily, I used just enough. I adapted the previously posted marshmallow recipe by using 2 tsps of vanilla and 1 tsp of peppermint extract. To make the marble design, I swirled gel food coloring with a toothpick across the surface of the still soft marshmallow.
These are just beautiful!
