Marshmallow Favors
Posted by Lidian on April 13, 2008
These are from the McCall’s Family Style Cookbook (1965). They are pretty cute, I will admit. I would have a hard time cutting teeny pieces of black gumdrops and making the eyes and the hippo’s teeth, though.
And I am not letting Leo the Lion near the party balloons.
For the how-to on the Marshmallow Menagerie, why not check out these other posts:
