The problem is that (I think) most people think of meringue as the hard stuff that dry cookies are made of and I didn't want to confuse anyone. This is why I likened it to marshmallows rather than meringue. However, you are correct that it *is* meringue!<br /><br />Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-67265896417587892802011-03-31T00:49:02.516-07:002011-03-31T00:49:02.516-07:00I will say to all that it's not marshmallow th...I will say to all that it's not marshmallow that's inside but meringue :)<br />The interior is pretty much an italian meringue covered with chocolate :)<br />An for those who don't know what italian meringue is, it's just like regular meringue only made with syrup instead of just adding the sugar to the whites :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454240265511055132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-52835548244329081282011-03-30T16:16:09.704-07:002011-03-30T16:16:09.704-07:00Well I love chocolate covered marshmallows, I wann...Well I love chocolate covered marshmallows, I wanna check them out.
