I didn't know that mash-mellows can be homemade, but Our Little FECS wanted to make them yesterday. We made raspberry and matcha marshmellows. It was the first time we made them. Daddy FECS gave the thumbs-up. He said that they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside :-) All ingredients can be bought from Netto supermarket. So we will say good-bye to store-bought marshmellows and make our own from now on...
