Recent backyard bonfires brought some nostalgia and helped me to relalize how much I do love roasting marshmallows to make s'mores on warm summer nights. While shopping at Whole Foods I couldn't help but notice their fancy and flavored marshmallows, which run $6-$7 for a pack of 10. I swiftly went to my computer and checked Smitten Kitchen for a homemade marshmallow recipe. To my delight I found not only a recipe for Marshmallows but also for graham crackers! The combination was absolutely amazing!
Using cookie cutters to cut the graham crackers instead of the traditional graham cracker squares.
Here are the two recipes I used, choosing to flavor the marshmallows with classic vanilla. Smitten Kitchen http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/06/springy-fluffy-marshmallows/ and http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/05/graham-crackers/. Since these marshmallows contain more than just gelatin and sugar, they have a beautiful texture and weight to them. Be careful roasting them because the cook much quicker than the store bought jet-puff.
