Chocolate Dusted Homemade Marshmallows

I grew up camping on the weekends in the summer months. No camp day was complete without s’mores! Over the years I have perfected my technique of roasting the most perfect golden, melty marshmallow ever. Sandwich that between graham crackers and chocolate bars and you have an amazing camp dessert. Such a treat! 

Well, now that we don’t eat a lot of the stuff that you find on store shelves, I have had to learn to make my own. I figured out how to make homemade grain-free graham crackers, and I know where to find good chocolate….but the marshmallows were still filled with junk. Then I started seeing recipes online for homemade marshmallows. Who knew! After much tinkering in my kitchen with the kiddos, we finally perfected a delicious homemade marshmallow recipe. We even dusted them with cocoa! A kiddo favorite for sure, only these are made with healthy ingredients.
