Hi! I’m ilene from Come on, ilene! I like to say that I’m a web designer by day and a dreamer by night. I started my blog after my wedding as an outlet for all my creative energies and to document all the random projects I’m working on. I’m honored to be guest posting today! Check out Come on, ilene for more baking, sewing, woodworking, wedding and craft ideas! I hope you will find something that will inspire you!
After seeing all those cute, omnipresent (but unpalatable) conversation hearts around Valentine’s Day, I was inspired to make some “conversation marshmallows”!
I made the same marshmallow recipe as whenI made the marshmallow s’mores, but instead of cutting them into 1″ squares with a pizza cutter, I used a bunch of mini cookie cutters (lightly oil first so that they don’t stick):
You’ll be left with a lot of cute little shapes, which can be stored up to three weeks in an airtight container:
Then I dug up some mini alphabet letter stamps and some food coloring (I used Wilton’s gel food coloring). I used a clean brush to paint on the surface of the stamp, and stamped the letters onto the marshmallows:
And this is the result!!
Slip these into your cup of hot chocolate or eat alone!

Love this! I make marshmallows every year, and I’ve always wondered about cutting them with cookie cutters. Just a little oil on the cookie cutter? I can do that!
thanks for featuring my blog post! one more tip: don’t stamp the letters on until right before you are going to use them, or the ink will bleed through the porous marshmallow.
Good to know, thanks! And…thanks again for sharing with us!
