So Luke and I LOVE Big Hunk Bars, Which you can not buy in Canada.  Sad, I know!  So with my recent addiction to Pintrest I started to "pin" candy recipes... Now I have decided to start actually use some of these recipes.  I made "Butterfingers" this week and LOVED them!  Now to try the "Big Hunk"  

Only problem is that the recipe calls for marshmallow cream that is insanely expensive here so I found a recipe for that too.
Wish me luck!


"Cheat Method"
  
Simply put the marshmallow in a large microwave bowl. 7 ounces of marshmallows or mini-marshmallows either one would equal 7 ounces of marshmallow cream.

Substitutions:
marshmallow creme = marshmallow fluff = Gently heat 16 ounces of marshmallows plus 1/4 cup corn syrup in a double boiler, stirring constantly; 10 large marshmallows = 1 C miniature marshmallows. 

Start by heating the marshmallows a few seconds at a time, stirring. Not so much to heat them but to slightly melt. gently. Stir in the corn syrup. You will end up with marshmallows creme just like the recipes call for & just like the jar of marshmallow creme from the store.
