Did anyone else buy too many marshmallows and chocolates for Valentine’s baking? Come on raise your hands! Seriously, I can’t be the only one!
Ok well whatever, I did. Now I need it to be gone. Out of my cabinets or else I will just continue to eat, eat, eat away at them. I mean are they really supposed to last a year? I don’t think so.
So I was trying to think of some recipes to make with these two items.
If you follow me on Instagram you will see I sent a shout out asking for ideas. I didn’t get any responses back but it is ok because within 15 minutes I had posted another picture of what I made.
I really was surprised at about how quickly I could get these done. One of my besties was dropping by for a play date with our kids and I wanted to whip up some kind of snack and this all worked out perfectly.
What is the best thing about these treats? I did them in the microwave and the marshmallows were done in like a minute and a half! I mean how great is that!
So did I end up eating all of these? Nope! I had help! Which was good and even better for my waist line! ENJOY!

I am always so curous about the strawberyr marshmallows I see at the store. I’ve never tried them before! Strawberries and chocolate – how can you go wrong?

They are pretty good! You can definitely taste the strawberry flavor in them. Can’t wait to try other flavors!
