    another super easy way to make them is to get a metal mixing bowl and a pot filled with water. Boil the water and use the metal bowl on top to make a double boiler. You can't burn them, you can add caramels and when you're done you just throw 6 cups in the bowl to mix. I usually scoop the stuff out with a spoon onto a waxed paper baking tin and use a pammed spatula to get them straight and even. Sorry they were such a pain for you!!!

    Brilliant idea...a double boiler. Something so simple but it didn't even occur to me...thanks!

    We use the marshmallow cream too. The kids like it when I add m&m's or "chips" to it (chocolate, peanut butter, etc.)

    Sorry you had such a bad experience with them but don't give up just yet. Just think of it this way, at least your entire kitchen wasn't covered in ooey gooey marshmallow mess.
