  • Marshmallows

    For years I've wanted to try making my own marshmallows.  I don't know why I waited for so long, but I was finally inspired to do it by Emily's fancy treats.   I used the same Martha recipe she recommended.

  • 5 Mores?

    It’s done!  Although the "S" in S’mores looks kinda like a 5, I’m still happy with how my little kit came out.  Everything fits just right. I added these cute, round feet and a little surprise in the bottom of the box:
