For your sake and for cocktails everywhere, the good news is that I don’t expect any such gift [right?! fingers secretly crossed] any time soon. In the meantime I jump on every occasion to invade the homes of my friends and use theirs.

When my dear friend asked if I’d like to come over for a marshmallow making party, you better believe I was over there in a hot second.

Marshmallows are one of those things where it really is helpful to have a stand mixer or prepare yourself now for the arm workout to come.

Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Or you could just eat them warm. That’s probably the best idea. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered.
