21 Marshmallow Desserts To Satisfy Those Sweet Cravings
These desserts are perfect for those sugary cravings.
If you're looking for a treat that will remind you of summer nights beside the campfire or just a way to use that extra bag of marshmallows in your pantry, you've come to the right place. Marshmallows are often overlooked as an ingredient in desserts, but they can add a soft texture and sugary taste to just about anything. Roasted marshmallows are famously paired with graham crackers and chocolate to make an irresistible s'more.
As much as we love the original, we added some surprising twists on a couple of recipes that still maintain that gooey marshmallow texture and graham cracker crunch. Along with s'mores, marshmallows can be found in nostalgic Southern dishes like Pistachio Fluff and Marshmallow Fruit Salad. Once you try these marshmallow desserts, you'll never look back.
