Uses for marshmallows?

in Old style MoneySaving
I needed marshmallows for some rocky road for work and bought a huuuge tub of them for £1.49 from B&M. The catch being they are fairly short dated so I need to use the rest of them up!

I don't have any rice crispies to make cakes (loads of weetabix though:D) and there's far too many for me to drink that much hot chocolate.

Any ideas for uses please?

    I would inore the date - they are essentially just sugar so very unlikely to go off. But if you are really worried you could just play fluffy bunny!

    You can also warm them up till they are semi liquid, make normal cupcakes and use it as a frosting :)

    u could break up the weetabix, melt chocolate over them and shape into nests and place a few marshmallow eggs in the middle... just intime for easter :) (shreddies is best, but weetabix does too)

    Don't forget Rocky road too, there's a recipe for that on Nigella's site too. I use the cheapy cheap chocolate from the supermarket and the basic brand rich tea biscuits and they are always yum!

    The best ever crispie squares are on smittenkitchen.com - made with burnt butter! OMG TDF and lots of other OTT acronyms!

    They wouldn't last long enough to go in a recipe around here. You can post some to me if you still have any after these yummy recipes!
