The only thing better than marshmallows is marshmallows on-the-go. This tasty treat is quick, clean and easy. Make it for Halloween treats or with kids while babysitting. It’s basically the culinary version of bedazzling.

Marshmallows and Oreos make a deadly combination. The fact that you don’t even have to lift a finger with the oven just makes these Oreo bars a triple threat.

Name any sweets you like, and you can probably toss it in this bar. M&Ms, Oreos, Rice Krispies and chocolate chips are all cemented together by melted marshmallow cream. Warning: Once you start eating one, you won’t be able to stop. Munch at your own risk.

Why hike into a forest for a short-lived s’more when you can create your own fire at home and have extras for later?

Here are some great alternative uses for them (you know, other than seeing how many can fit in your mouth at once). You could even use them for any of the other aforementioned recipes.
