I personally always have and always will like Ambrosia salad, what can I say. Here's a list with some ideas: https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/vintage-marshmallow-salad-recipes/


I used to LOVE this in the 80s. Sour cream + sugar and stir in marshmallows. Let the marshmallows soak up the liquid.

Not OP, but I hate throwing out food. It's not about the money. It's about the waste and the associated environmental cost. If I can use something, I will. My grandmother used to pickle watermelon rind, and while I won't go that far, I hate to even toss the watermelon rind because I know that I COULD be repurposing it.

This. They’re not going to get any better. Buy a pack of clothespins to secure bags in the kitchen.


Hello, 1967!


So? They work and they’re cheaper than the alternatives.

For the record, watermelon rind pickles are SO good, and it’s not about saving money and just SO good!!!!

I have used them for rice krispy treats -- they don't melt quite as easily so you have to be patient. Also good added to brownies right before they go in the oven!

I have a friend that loves stale marshmellows- try eating them as is. Otherwise, give the toss-

Do you have kids?

Use the dried up marshmellows for crafts - have the kids insert toothpicks into the marshmellows and make houses/bridges/igloos/fun shapes - a bit of supplement to DL.

Oops- The bread dries *out*

They will work in watergate salad (love that stuff). I've used dried out marshmallows and the cool whip rehydrate s them.
