Found the recipe on Bakarella, who found the recipe on Martha Stewart. Hardest part for sure was the doubt that overtakes you as you are holding the hand held mixer at the 12 minute mark wondering why your marshmallow concoction hasn't reached 160 degrees. I, like Bakarella, gave up around then and hoped for the best. Piped the concoction onto the cupcakes, threw them in the freezer, and took a deep breath. Second hardest part was turning my sweet little piped specimens upside down and dunking them into the chocolate mixture. Visions of chocolate-marshmallow mush floated through my head. For my first time, it went pretty well. Figured out about half way through that I needed to thin the chocolate mixture and that made the dunking even better. The thinner the chocolate mixture, the better.
Took them into school today and snapped a quick picture of them before I walked away and prayed they would stay in their "shape" until the teacher's came to devour them. Threw my cardinal rule of always trying a new recipe first before giving them to people to the wind this time for lack of planning and time, and don't think I'll do that again. But, it's chocolate and sugar....can't taste that bad right?!?! And if you'll notice the empty cupcake spot in the top left corner of the picture.....that cupcake was taken while I ran in the secretaries office to tell her something. ;)
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
