Nonfiction Book Review for ‘Treat’ by Stephanie Banyas.  50 Recipes for No Bake Marshmallow Treats. Published by Crown Publishing

8/15/2015

0 Comments

 
This is a dessert cookbook with 50 recipes for marshmallow treats.  I was excited to get this book in the mail because this is something my teenage daughter loves.  In fact, all three of my children like to cook.  My first impression of the book is that the color scheme and pictures are excellent!  I like the pinks, pale greens, yellows, and blues.  The combination of colors makes me feel like I am in a candy shop and is pleasing to the eye.

The beginning of the book starts with some helpful tips on how to spread marshmallow treats in dishes without making a mess, how to melt marshmallows, and how to melt chocolate.

I had never heard of a homemade marshmallow until this book!  I can’t wait to try this one with my kids. The recipes in this book do not appear overly complicated and they use ingredients easy to find in any grocery store.

My only disappointment with the book is that for some reason when I read “no bake” in my mind I thought no cooking at all which would be really easy and safe for children.  Even though there is no baking involved, these recipes require melting marshmallows and other ingredients on the stove or in the microwave, so supervision and help will be needed by adults if children want to try these recipes.  Regardless, these are sure to be a hit with everyone!
