I wouldn’t necessarily say these are “healthy marshmallows” because they are still high in sugar, but what I will say it’s a great alternative to your typical store bought ones that are filled with corn syrup, artificial flavorings and preservatives. Paired with a homemade hot chocolate....HEAVEN!!!
Hot Chocolate (Servings 2)
