We started a new tradition and made some peppermint marshmallows to have with hot chocolate on Christmas after our sledding outing. Ellie can't eat most marshmallows because she is very sensitive to food coloring, We were able to use candy cane bits that had natural dye (from beets) and natural dye we purchased to make them pink. We had lots of fun making them, and now, eating them. Anyone else use their child(ren)'s allergy or sensitivity to learn to make new things?
