Chocolate Marshmallow Bars
The only thing better than leaving cookies by the tree for Santa is leaving these chocolate marshmallow bars instead! I literally never buy marshmallows but the other day at the grocery store I saw these mini ones and I couldn’t resist grabbing them. Once I got home I couldn’t wait to bake something yummy. I’ve been exploring in the baking realm lately and I’ve really enjoyed using cassava flour. It tends to give the perfect cake like texture to baked goods. Mix that with the fluffy marshmallows baked inside (yes, they are inside the batter as well!) and you have a delicious little slice of heaven. Whoo!
Some notes on this recipe - I have not experimented making these with any other type of flour. Cassava flour is very unique in that it is super light and fluffy, so I am not sure how this would turn out with swaps. I used Califia Farms Better Half, it is dairy free but feel free to use a regular half and half. These are also not super sweet, if you prefer a sweeter dessert maybe add 1-2 tbsp. syrup.
