Marshmallow Sandwiches

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Spread cream cheese on thin round crackers.

  2. Place a marshmallow on top of the cream cheese.

  3. Dot the marshmallow with a bit of butter.

  4. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven until the marshmallow puffs up.

  5. Serve immediately.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
