Halloween Marshmallow Jack-o'-Lantern Cookies

Making marshmallows is so much easier than many people think. This easy DIY not only helps you make chewy gooey marshmallows, but how to coat them in a light sugar crust. These little jack-o'lanterns are as cute as they are tasty. We made ours with vanilla, but you could take this a step further by giving your marshmallows a different flavor, like orange, lemon or even chocolate.
