Marshmallow Balls

My Miss 13 has taken over my kitchen lately baking for lunchboxes and a few extra sweet snacks.  She loves baking and especially the recipes that you get your hands dirty and have to give a little creative flare, she’s so clever!  Miss made these Marshmallow Balls recently, she was in her element!

They have a sweet biscuit mixture coating the marshmallow, a really nice snack idea especially for Easter.

I may have tried a half, they are sweet so it’s easy to not over indulge.

These can be made a week ahead.  Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
