Marshmallow Bush

Ingredients

1 bag mini-marshmallows

1 bag regular marshmallows

1 budding Lilac bush branch

Utensils

Sharp knife or pruning shears

Skill level

Easy (if you've ever played the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus)

Advanced (if you're just not very sneaky)

Directions

Trim a budding branch from a Lilac bush

Push it in the ground at the edge of your garden (or even a flower pot)

Tell anyone that will listen that it looks like a good year for marshmallows

After the buds start to open, sneak out and push mini-marshmallows onto the branches

Show off your early crop and even let folks sample a few.  Make sure to comment on the perfect marshmallow growing weather

When you are ready, replace the mini's with regular marshmallows

Harvest them with some little folks and enjoy!
