(3 ratings)
I am a huge fan of anything coconut and dark chocolate so I took my favorite marshmallow recipe and made these! I love to make them as gifts and they are some of my friends and familys favorits! sorry about the poor picture it was taken on my cell phone. You can leave out the coconut extract and add a Tbls. of vanilla and toss them in powdered sugar for some plain old home made marshmallows. so good too!
