Pink Nightmare

One thing that Sunday afternoons are great for is cooking creations. Some work out, some...well, not so much. So the story of pink nightmare begins. A couple of days ago Jacob was with me in Walmart and he saw this bag of "extra giant" marshmallows. He thought that was the coolest thing and decided to trade in the other treat that was in our cart for this bag of marshmallows. So for dessert today the boys each had one of these marshmallows. Well, they all ate just part of one. No one was able to finish a whole one. I don't blame them, I mean really, who can handle more than a tiny marshmallow in one sitting and these are pretty bad...yuck! Anyway, so I mentioned that it was too bad that we didn't have any Rice Krispies to make Rice Krispy Treats. So John starts looking in the pantry and asks me if I trust him to make something. Yikes! This coming from the man whose specialties include meatloaf made in a frying pan on the stove, and lamb stew that smells like dirty diapers. But hey, why not. I tell him to go ahead. So he gets out the Corn Flakes and Rice Chex and starts his creation. It kind of turned out as a big pink, really chewy blob. As it has cooled, it has become quite hard, kind of like a crunchy hard candy. The taste actually isn't too bad and it did use up some of those marshmallows! John has given this new candy treat the name of pink nightmare.
