Leftover Marshmallows

 

It's Halloween Weekend!

Last month, while shopping for coffee online, I needed to add an extra item to get the free shipping and this cocoa mix brought the order to the right amount. Calling it "Drinking Chocolate" got my attention. As for Bones Coffee, it tastes good, but I buy it mainly because I love their silly names and the fun artwork on the packaging.

Anyway, their hot cocoa is okay but the marshmallows in the mix are barely there. So we added some miniature ones and that brought it to a better level. Then we finished the hot chocolate and ended up with lots of leftover marshmallows. What a vicious circle.

 His Madness decided we needed to make a pumpkin pie to use up all those marshmallows.

What?

  

After he convinced us that topping a pumpkin pie with marshmallows was actually a thing, everyone pitched in to help. Ivy mixed up the filling while Burt beat the eggs. We were still pretty skeptical about how this was all going to come together. 

HM got the crust ready. 

Then theatrically added the gloopy filling and the pie went into the oven for about 40 minutes. 

When it came out of the oven there was a mad scramble to cover the top with tiny marshmallows before putting it under the broiler to turn it golden. Phew!

Much to everyone's surprise it actually worked and better yet, it smelled like toasted marshmallows!

How will we ever be able to wait for it to cool?  

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!
