Wowee. These I have to make. Will buy some marshmallows tomorrow.

They got the thumbs up from DS 13 so that's a good thing. Just a warning the marshmallow mix becomes quiet sticky by the time you ice the last biscuit but quiet spreadable still. I had a sticky mess by the time I was finished lol.

  actually I told my DD to hide the packets, and what do you know, before I knew it they had gone. Normally when I ask them to do something its always...yeah when I finished doing this, but these just *disappeared* (funny that)
