Uses for marshmallows?

Next time you could make candied yams, get some (sweet potatoes really) and bake them or nuke them so you can scoop the flesh from the skin, put it in a casserole dish and mash it up a bit, sprinkle on some brown sugar and put the marshmallows on top then shove it in the oven until the marshmallows have melted and browned - serve with your usual Sunday roast.

Oh I could really eat some of that now. Our Christmas table/Thanksgiving table/any other table, lol, isn't complete without them.

I recently found and tested a new recipe using marshmallows - basically melt 180g in a saucepan with 50g butter, then take off the heat and stir in 100g peanut butter and 75g rice crispies - then coax into a brownie pan, or just spread on some parchment paper. When the mix is cool cut into squares and try not to eat it all at once - nomnomnom!

How about trying a few in a mug of hot chocolate etc .... yum. I remember my mum used to do this, when I was a kid.

If you keep them in an airtight container they should keep for yonks, so there's no rush to use them up.

If you cut them in half with a pair of scissors they automatically turn themselves into flower-petals. Plonk them sticky side down and make flowers out of them to decorate cakes.

Thriftwizard's suggesion of putting them on top of rice pudding is a revelation to me: I would never have thought of doing that. Now I need to pop out and buy some just to make the pud.
