Soft, Pillowy Cubes of Decadence

I Love You, Marshmallows

Is there such a thing as too many marshmallows?

Marshmallows - that beautiful mixture of cornflour, icing sugar, liquid glucose and gelatine

Gelatine to give it that springy spongy consistency

Spongy consistency that makes it feel like you are biting into a cloud

Cloud flavoured with vanilla or strawberry

Strawberry and vanilla need to be eaten in two

Two at a time, one of each or two of one

One marshmallow is never enough

Enough is too finite a word to describe marshmallows

Marshmallows never lie or make you cry

Cry - something I often do when I run out of marshmallows

-

Marshmallows - I love you, you soft, pillowy, sweet cubes of decadence.
