Too Much S'more

I admit, I am sometimes an impulse shopper. I bought a bag of these, thinking they would be great for s'mores.
When I actually looked at them, I changed my mind. So hubby and I each roasted just one to eat.
These things are four times as big as the marshmallows we usually use for s'mores.
I saved the chocolate and graham crackers for another day.
Maybe I will just make rice crispy treats or something with these. It is just too much marshmallow for me. Hubby looked funny with a marshmallow mustache.

That is a great idea, I have not made popcorn balls since I did it with my mom. I thought of it, but was not sure it was doable with marshmallows, we used brown Karo syrup.

@GardenGerty Oh yeah, it works well. I made a popcorn cake that way. It was for some friends, and I added M&Ms to the 'mellows, butter, popcorn, and spread it out in a pan, and voila. I love popcorn balls, freshly made. It's been a long while!

@AmbiePam I will do it, possibly adding some nuts. I like nuts.

@JudyEv Marshmallows, as I understand it are sugar and either gelatin or egg whites and vanilla. Maybe all of the above. These things are huge!!

@GardenGerty Marshmallows would be almost all sugar, wouldn't they? Not good for blood sugar levels.

Oh I know, you have such a sweet tooth! One of these melted on top of your pop tart would be good, or even between two chocolate pop tarts.

For now they are going back into my freezer, but I will use them.

Both are very good. Right now I have an icebox cake to eat, though. i really do not need a lot of sweet treats, but these are so easy it is hard to resist.

@GardenGerty I don't need a lot of sweets either but there are times you really want to.

I made them as a store demo one year at Christmas but have not made them at home since. I am seeing potential in this discussion for lots of goodies to make.

I enjoyed slowly roasting, then skinning the roasted part and roasting it again. One was plenty though, and I do not want them to become stale.
