A little piece of fluff

There are things that a woman just does not want to know.

Two little pieces of fluff that can break a heart are:

Finding out your man is playing around 

Finding out marshmallows are made with corn syrup!

Uh huh...this is a chick blog today guys!  :)

Now the man thing you are going to have to handle yourself, 

but the marshmallows I can help you with!

I really do not have a sweet tooth (not counting chocolate... yum!)... but... occasionally I love to wander off the straight and narrow path and indulge a little.  I thought an occasional detour with a little fluffy pillow of sugary fluff was an ok deal... especially if it was toasted over an open fire... I mean what innocent fun!  But  nooooooo....... 

I don’t buy anything that is made with corn syrup, so  I was pretty much “little miss pouty” when I read the label on the marshmallow packet... I mean... really!!!!   The ingredients listed corn syrup and surprise, it is made with corn, which is mostly  a GMO crop, and when it is processed they manage to get a little mercury into the mix... how clumsy!

It is pretty easy to make marshmallows, Just google for a non corn syrup recipe. 

Don't get sloppy... it is really sticky stuff!!! 

 I am sure you will figure that one out really quickly! 

Fifteen minutes of mixing

A few hours of waiting... unless you want them all rubbery like
the ones you buy in the store, then you may have to wait a few months!

A little bit of bliss...
I am going to try making them with some exotic flavors next time.
I am thinking Grand Mariner, Coffee, Chocolate.. mmm... the list goes on!

Add a cup of hot chocolate, 

and a snowy scene

viewed from the kitchen window,

and you have the perfect recipe 

for a little self indulgence.

Life is good!
