S’mores Cake in a Jar- Backpack Baking in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

October 10, 2015 by Jenn
Today, we take you on a biking Backpack Baking adventure on a portion of the Trans Canada Trail called North Star Rails to Trails.  We show you how to make S’mores Cake in a Jar in our Bemco Backpacking Oven.  This recipe can be made at home, without the backpacking oven, by following the same recipes and procedures.

Hello Kitty Marshmallows- How to Make Marshmallows!

July 31, 2015 by Jenn

I’m going to be honest and say that I’ve never been much of a Hello Kitty fan, but sooooo many viewers are and have been requesting that I made something HK themed.  I have been wanting to make homemade marshmallows for a long time now, but didn’t have a way to make them interesting enough- until I found this mold!

No Bake Oreo Marshmallow Bars (Cookies and Cream Bars)

February 19, 2015 by Jenn

Oreos and marshmallows make a great combination . . . who would have thought?  I’m making these bars, which are super simple, as I have a big cake project in the plans, and you need to know how to make these before I get to the special video!

 There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to these bars.  You can add extra marshmallows, or extra cookies to change the way that the bars taste and feel.  The more cookies you add, the crunchier the bars will be.  And vise versa, the more marshmallows you add, the chewier the bars will be.   I would also take a guess and say that mixing in a different flavour of sandwich cookie would be good too.  Maybe any cookie would work!?!  If you try that out, let me know!

Homemade Marshmallow Fluff (Marshmallow Creme)

March 26, 2014 by Jenn
Marshmallow fluff, or creme, as it is sometimes called is basically a spreadable version of marshmallows.  Think campfire melted marshmallows- without the char!  Usually it is sold by the jar, for relatively cheap, but if you know me and that my recipes are made from scratch, you’ll know that I’m not going to just buy a jar of something because it’s cheap.  I have to learn to make it! 
 
Making marshmallow fluff is a precursor to a couple of bigger projects that we have coming up on our YouTube channel. Laying the foundations, and the ground work is critical!  No, I’m not building something that needs to be structurally sound- I’m trying to make “fluff” sound like a big, important deal.  
 
Did it work?
 
So yes, back to the fluff.  It’s sticky.  It’s gooey.  It can be a pain to work with, but it is oh, so, good.  Apparently people make sandwiches with it, and despite my never squelched sweet tooth, I think that might be disgusting.  If you’ve tried it, let me know what it’s like . . . I can’t bring myself to do it.  I would have to buy bread.

Candy Cane Marshmallow Pops

December 9, 2013 by Jenn

The weather here has been down right FREEZING!  I know I live in Canada, and I know it’s winter (well almost) but -30C is ridiculous!  There’s a wind chill to boot as well.  For the last couple of years, due to Paul’s “encouragement” I’ve tried to embrace winter.  It hasn’t worked.  Yet.  I’m trying again this year, and decided to buy a down jacket, and adult snow pants (do you know they make those things without overalls now?!)  So with my down jacket, and Ugg boots (no snowpants though . . . I’m saving those for ice fishing) we left the house yesterday and went for a walk.  For 20 minutes.  It was all we could handle . . . well, it was all I could handle.  I’m sure Paul could have gone for much longer as I’m a wimp.  My jacket kept me super warm and I enjoyed my new purchase until my face froze and my legs froze and I had those to complain about.  Complaining is what I do best after all.

After our outside jaunt, I was desperate to be warmed up, and a warm cup of hot chocolate was in order.  These candy cane marshmallow pops are super quick to assemble, and add delightful tastes to your warm cup of hot chocolate!  They would also be delicious in a cup of coffee.
