Toasted Marshmallow Shakes

January 26th, 2010

If there are marshmallows in the house, they won’t last more than a few days.  I’m not even that crazy about them, but I still manage to shovel handfuls into my mouth, almost ritualistically, every time I pass by the kitchen.  Toasting marshmallows (for S’mores) is one of my favorite summer activities, but it somehow loses its appeal in the dark months of winter.

I tried Stand’s famous Toasted Marshmallow Shake when I was in New York for Fashion Week (you can find posts on my trip here, here and here) and my boyfriend and I haven’t stopped talking about it since.  It was amazingly decadent, with rich vanilla ice cream and golden marshmallows that were blended into the tastiest thing I’ve ever drunk.  I finally found the recipe last week (here) and have been waiting for the perfect time to try it out.  Turns out, it was yesterday at 3:30 on a random Monday afternoon and boy, was it sweet.

    Although I’m not the biggest fan of marshmallows, I’m completely enamored with smores. With that being said, this post has got me singing my yum song.

    I was in my friends room, and her roommate who I don’t know as well was looking at your blog. From across the room i yelled ” I KNOW THAT GIRL.” which i clearly dont, but in the sense that i’ve seen that picture before. We ended up bonding about your blog, and brought me and her closer together. thanks for that! p.s. yummy

    Oh wow, I’ve never seen a marshmellow shake before. I’d probably try it but I’m actually not that fond of marshmellows! Weird I know.

    The fact that you love to cook/bake and love marshmallows calls for you to make homemade marshmallows! They’re soo much better than store bought and super easy! I wrote a blog about it but I use Martha Stewart’s recipe and have figured out a few tips!
