Mint Marshmallow

As I gazed out at the pouring rain on a rather slow afternoon, I tried to think of what things go together. What combination of items would go amazing together as a pair to create something way better than if they were just plain individuals.

Mash and gravy...

Ketchup and chips...

Peanut butter and jelly...

Cookies and milk...

Fried chicken and octo-vinaigrette...

Green tea and red beans...

And...Hot chocolate and marshmallow!

Why didn't I think of it earlier?

The wet and gloomy Sydney weather is perfect for hot chocolate with marshmallows...even better, mint-flavoured marshmallows! (Inspired by peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks).

The recipe can be found here and instead of 1 tablespoon of vanilla, I added 1 tablespoon of mint flavouring and a few drops of green food colouring (roughly around 5 drops).

The clip-on thermometer was a good investment as I no longer have to hold it there while my hand burns!

Cutting it up after sitting at least for 6 hrs

I always have problem storing my marshmallows for some reasons. If I store them in an air-tight container, usually by the next day they'd get sticky and wet and not dry and fluffy like they're supposed to be. Maybe I'll figure it out next time I make it again...should be soon as the weather is only going to get colder ;)
