And in all seriousness, things like this would make a great homeschooling lesson - teaches kids the scientific method, variables, fractions. I shall do some "experiments" this weekend with my kids.Ginahttp://www.mendolo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-79736045483918225672012-03-15T11:17:22.165-04:002012-03-15T11:17:22.165-04:00Having tasted your culinary talents for myself all...Having tasted your culinary talents for myself all I can say is<br /><br />DEEEELICIOUS!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-87572115509165383752012-03-14T23:59:16.378-04:002012-03-14T23:59:16.378-04:00Josephina--Well, it WAS over the course of a coupl...Josephina--Well, it WAS over the course of a couple weeks =)...<br /><br />I hadn't thought of using Peeps!

Honestly, though, the peppermint flavor from the marshmallows is VERY mild; I think there's more food coloring than peppermint flavor. Extract is an EXCELLENT idea! And that WILL take a lot of experimentation since those extracts can be so potent ;-).<br /><br />Liz--Thank you!

I'm sure peppermint extract could be mixed in with regular marshmallows, but it would take experimentation to figure out the ratio. Maybe you should work on that next:)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261907052119379241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-13808429494740495742012-03-13T07:57:25.611-04:002012-03-13T07:57:25.611-04:00And these would be easy to make dairy free with th...And these would be easy to make dairy free with the right chocolate!Nowheymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977594440010163078noreply@blogger.com
