Lots of lovely coffees and chocolates with them in?

With Easter not far away, perhaps you could keep some (that won't be hard :D :D) and just dip in chocolate then sprinkle with coconut.

I have them because it was a "deal of the day" special a few weeks ago. 24 packets of Pascal marshmallows for $10, and $5.95 postage. I have given away 7 packets so far, for friends preparing for birthday parties, but so many left ;)

Post by: korrick on June 21, 2012, 12:12:23 am: I've converted one of the recipes mentioned above - they are really good.

Chocolate Rice Krispies (bubbles) Treats

60 gms butter or margarine
285 gms marshmallows
60 gms unsweetened chocolate squares (or you can use 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa)
5 cups Rice bubbles

Melt the marshmallows, butter and chocolate in the THMX on speed 1-2 for 6 mins at 90. Meanwhile, butter a large bowl and add the Rice bubbles. Butter a baking pan, also.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir to coat completely. Press into prepared baking pan. Cut into squares when cool.

These smell a lot like LCMs, hopefully they taste as great.

After I managed to pull myself back onto my chair ( ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ) I managed to give your dilemma some serious consideration, and I remembered something I used to do a lot when I had marshmallows I needed to use up. Its quite simple really. When you are cooking a cake, take it out of the oven 5 minutes before the end of its cooking time and cover the top with marshmallows. Put it back in the oven for the last 5 minutes and the marshmallows will melt over the top of your cake! :o
When you take the cake out of the oven after the marshmallows have melted, let them set a little bit and then drizzle melted chocolate over the top ;D

Yum yum :D It works particularly well with chocolate cakes, plain butter cakes or marble cakes. They are the only cakes I've tried it with anyway :) :) :)
