mmm can you share your marshmallow recipe?

as far as ginerbread goes, i use the recipe out of the Joy of Cooking. I use graph paper and just draw out a template i like then bake two of each design for each house. One thing I started doing a few years back that i like is putting them together with melted sugar instead of royal icing. You wait until it is at the hard ball stage on the candy thermometer and then just dip a side in and stick it to another piece. hold it for a few seconds and it's stuck for good. they are much more stucturally sound and you don't have to worry about the house falling apart while the kiddo is decorating it.
