This unique marshmallow recipe from The Kitchn blog mashes up a hot cocoa staple with another staple winter beverage—eggnog.
In terms of looks, these cubed eggnog marshmallows don’t seem to be too much different from the average homemade marshmallow, likely because the addition of creamy white eggnog to this recipe doesn’t add much color. However, with ingredients like maple syrup, vanilla and sugar in the mix, there’s bound to be tons of flavor in these sweet treats, especially since the recipe calls for the marshmallow treats to be topped off with a light dusting of nutmeg. Prepping these homemade flavored marshmallows takes time, but they’d make the perfect standalone wintry snack or addition to hot chocolate.
