Marshmallow Love

Today was another special snow day for us. While Judah was out playing in the snow, I made him some special marshmallows for the hot chocolate that would warm him up when he came inside. I told him the heart was because I love him and it must have made an impression on him because he told Daddy all about it tonight when he came home from work. 

First I melted a bunch of mini marshmallows in the microwave. I turned the power down to about 30% so, they would melt and not just get huge.

 While they were melting, I greased a heart shaped cookie cutter and put it on a plate, covered in waxed paper.

 After the marshmallows were melted, I poured them into the greased cookie cutter and put sprinkles on top. I melted quite a few marshmallows so, I also made some other fun shapes but, I didn't get pictures of those. In to the freezer the marshmallow shapes went.

 After they had chilled for awhile, they were pretty easy to remove from the cookie cutters. Using a butter knife dipped in hot water worked great.

 I love this boy and I hope he'll always let me make him hot cocoa with heart shaped marshmallows on top.
