Hello fellow last minute gifters! I have your hail mary: juniper + smoke marshmallows that taste like winter holidays. The juniper + smoke marshmallows get a piney, smokey flavor from a simple syrup made with peat smoked scotch whiskey and juniper berries. Sound weird? It\u2019s not; they\u2019re perfect for bobbing in winter hot chocolates. You\u2019ll want to find the smokiest scotch your local liquor store has. I love The Peat Monster scotch for this recipe, but just ask for the peatiest, smokiest scotch they have. Can\u2019t find it? Don\u2019t sweat it; use water and have juniper marshmallows. Other than the scotch you\u2019ll just need some gelatin packets from the store along with juniper berries (you can find them in the spice section at Whole Foods), sugar, and clear corn syrup. I originally developed & shot this recipe for a collaboration with KitchenAid, but this is my slightly updated version. Trust me, I\u2019ve been making marshmallows obsessively for years\u2026they were one of the first recipes on this blog! My favorite flavorings back then were Earl Grey Marshmallows laced with Salted Lapsang Souchong Caramel<\/a> as well as Smokey Oak Marshmallows<\/a> (another great way to get smokey flavor). You can check out\u00a0those recipes\u00a0(along with their horrible photos!) for more mallowspiration. For more DIY gift ideas you can check out our preserved lemons<\/a>, granola<\/a>, and balsam fir syrup<\/a>. Anyways, I had these photos laying around from that shoot a couple of months back, and it seemed like the perfect time to share them for all my fellow procrastinators getting elfy this Christmas eve! It\u2019s all my favorite things: marshmallows, marble, and hints of copper & pink. Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
