Marshmallow Fluff

One of the most rewarding things about this website has got to be the background research.

I feel like I learn something new every single day.

Things that can easily be bought in a store filled to the brim with preservatives and ingredients that should never, ever be ingested by humans, can now be made 100% homemade the way I like them.

To my preference.

To my taste.

Just the way I like it.

Because I'm selfish like that.

It opens up a whole new world when you can make anything you want homemade.  Take this fluff.  Now, I've never been a huge fluff eater.  I've heard it's good on sandwiches with peanut butter, but I'm not completely sold on that yet.

But, I do like marshmallow creme on cupcakes.  And, swirled in my ice cream.  And, used as a quick substitute for s'more flavored delights.  

Making homemade fluff turns out to be super easy and cheap since the ingredients list is small and easily obtainable.  For just over a dollar, I made almost double what the containers at the grocery store carry, and it's made with ingredients that I know and trust.

And because I'm selfish, I'm keeping it all to myself!
