Delicious and very sweet. But it s really hard to form a wreath when the stuff is sticking to your fingers AND it s hot!? Yes I buttered my fingers but that just didn t do it. So instead of wreathes I now have the rare and elusive phoenix nest which has three little red hot eggs.? I would not recommend meeting making this with children. It would make a complete and utter disastrous mess. Unless of course you don t mind having sticky Green marshmallow goo everywhere including their hair.? Read More

Fun to make with the kids. Very festive. Use cooking spray on your hands when you shape... works like a charm. Read More
