Some nights you just need a special treat! For us, a night of playing with Legos and listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was such an occasion. Fortunately, a magical substance that goes by the name of Marshmallow Fluff is actually a thing! !t is extremely easy to make and is super GAPS friendly!

With just a stand-up mixer, water, honey, vanilla and gelatin you can create this fascinating dessert. We decided to add a drop of peppermint essential oil to our batch for extra holiday flavor!
