toasted coconut marshmallows

That's right.  Homemade marshmallows!  Is the process messy?  Very.  Tiring?  Very.  Time consuming?  If you consider waiting overnight for the marshmallows to dry, then yes.  Worth it?  I'd say so.

The great thing about making marshmallows yourself, is the fact that you can customize it in several ways.  I figured for this first time around, I would stick to an already proven recipe.  I decided to go with a basic homemade marshmallow recipe, but with the small twist of toasted coconut.  Food Network's Barefoot Contessa brought me the inspiration.  You can find the recipe here, or download my recipe card!
