Recipe Notes
It's also something the kiddos can mix together with minimal adult supervision.
During the holidays, we like to make candy cane marshmallows* with leftovers crushed candy cane bits from our peppermint stick ice cream, to give it a little seasonal flare!
*create a glaze by adding milk to powdered/confectioners sugar, dip marshmallow in glaze and then in crushed candy canes.
For the adult version, take it one step further and add a little peppermint schnapps or peppermint flavored vodka!
