Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
My roommate makes yams with marshmallows on top every Thanksgiving, and every Thanksgiving there are always a bag of them left over (really, two bags is too much for one bowl of sweet potatoes). So what can you do with them, besides eating them as a snack, putting them in hot chocolate, or toasting them on a campfire?
You can make Marshmallow Icing for cakes and other desserts. I usually go the canned Duncan Hines route for my frostings and icings, but this one actually seems rather easy.
Marshmallow Icing
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound marshmallow, melted
1 tablespoon butter (sweet)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Boil sugar and water to 238 degrees F. (To test temperature: After boiling a short time, the syrup when dropped with a spoon into cold water will form a "soft ball" at 238 to 240 degrees F.) Remove from fire and add the melted marshmallow and the butter. Then the vanilla extract. Beat until thick enough to spread on cake.
