Marshmellow Squares

The other week a made these very yummy marshmellow squares for some girlfriends and I.  It's one of John's grandmother's recipes.  If you know Grams, then you know her cooking and you know it is good.  This was one square of her's that as soon as we had it, we had to have the recipe and then it went into my ever growing pile of "going to make this one day" and there is sat for like a year until I decided to make them.  Let me tell you, they were soooo good.  Especially because it was fresh out of the oven and wonderfully gooey.

Just before going into the oven

Now my version of these squares were a little more doctored up as I sort of  eyeballed some of the measurements and the recipe called for mini-marshmellows and I only had large.  My suggestion - if you don't like marshmellow that much, then use the mini, as the large over takes the top of the squares.  Point in case here:

Right after coming out of the oven

 All in all, I think that they were a hit as the girls loved them, going back for seconds!
