Welcome to Bonita's Kitchen website if you are looking for a lovely dessert that is full of flavour and fun, this is your dessert and look no further.

If you are from Newfoundland or Labrador you may remember your mom making these or going to the corner store and buying one. They also had graham crackers on them or a biscuit at the bottom of the marshmallow. 

The steps are not to bad, but you got to have a little time on your hands to make them.

Marshmallow squares
one pack of gelatine, thats 1 tbsp if loose gelatine and 3/4 cup of cold water, soak for 5 to 10 minutes until jelled.

After the gelatine have jelled you pour it in a saucepan and add 3/4 cup of white sugar, let boil until all dissolved.

Gelatine and sugar in a saucepan that takes about 2-3 minutes to start boiling.

When you remove saucepan from stove top then add confectioners sugar ( powdered icing sugar ) to the hot liquid, then let cool to room temperature before adding the other ingredients.
