3 Cool Things You Should Do with Marshmallows

Besides being delicious and easy for baking desserts, marshmallows have a few handy uses. Here are three marshmallow tricks:

1) Store one giant marshmallow in your sugar bowl or in a bag of brown sugar -- it will keep the sugar from clumping or hardening.

2) Use mini-marshmallows to keep an ice cream cone from leaking at the bottom. Stack 4 small marshmallows at the bottom of the cone, then add ice cream and enjoy the non-drippy goodness.

3) Eat a few marshmallows when you have a cough. The gelatin in marshmallows helps soothe a scratchy-feeling throat and can prevent a hacking, dry cough.
