Homemade *Shamrock* Marshmallows

So, it happens to be that it was (and is!) cold outside. Surprise, surprise Minnesota.

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, I’m glad you asked, because I couldn’t find a dang candy thermometer in the kitchen to save my life. Nor did I really want to go all the way up to the store to get a new one.

(I’m officially talking to myself on my blog, don’t mind me.)

And I thought, I’ll try to make this recipe without the thermometer (I know…bad me).

And…

After I researched tons of marshmallow recipes online, watched marshmallow-makin’ videos (and in that time probably could’ve already returned from the store w/ my new thermometer, but that’s besides the point) I had decided that I had it pinned down to exactly how long it would take for my mixture to get to 240 degrees.

Pot o’ Gold (at the end of the) Rainbow Cake Bites!

 

A few things I’m loving right now:

-My new Kitchen Aid mixer that I got for $130 off!

On another note: I’ve been so excited to show you these…I have been waiting since January to use these little sour candy things (aka rainbows) I found at Target in the dollar section. Now it’s March something and I’m rushing to publish them to the world wide web. What the heck happened to February – and when did March get here?! Sorry, I’ve been locked in a room rolling 2000 cake balls for the past week ;) .

These are a bit time consuming to make, but I’ve saved you the trial and error of figuring out what works best.

Here’s what my research has found:

Shamrock Pretzels

I’m not Irish – nor do I really get into the corned beef thing.

But I’ll totally make you green cake bites, green latte’s, and these adorable shamrock pretzels that I found on Sun Scholars.

She kept the little holes in the pretzels open but I went ahead and double dipped to completely cover these once plain pretzels.

Pin It

Vanilla (candiquik), Mint (extract), steamed milk. Latte? Yes…technically speaking.
