BIG flavors and a pinch of attitude!
FA LA LA! The holidays are officially here! I’ve been working super hard to bring you my first Holiday Gift Guide in a 4 part series with different themes where I showcase products from some of my favorite companies. I’ll post each themed guide one at a time over the next few weeks, so you will still have time to shop! Did you miss the first two guides? Check them out: All Things Charcoal and Splurge Worthy.

I love me a good Old Fashioned drink, and so these boozy, adulty marshmallows were born. Bourbon is kinda my jam right now. And by kinda, I mean I’m literally bourboning ALL the things lately… I made bourbon baked chicken thighs, rosemary and vanilla bourbon spiked nuts, and these boozy maple bourbon marshmallows. And I probably won’t stop here!
I had to test these several times until I got it right, and third time was a charm. First I cooked the bourbon in the maple/water mixture and I couldn’t taste any booziness in the marshmallows. Next, I added the bourbon to the mixing bowl while the marshmallows were whipping. Big mistake. The taste was there, but they totally fell flat and wouldn’t whip. Finally, my friend Nichole told me I should bloom the gelatin IN the bourbon. DUH! These came out PERFECT!…
