Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies and the 2014 Pillsbury Bake Off

by Laura

Did you know that you should have been enjoying dessert all throughout October? No? Well, now you know because October is National Dessert Month!

I am sharing a recipe to use as part of your cerebration! This Hot Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies recipe is one of the finalists in 2014 Pillsbury Bake Off. It was entered by Sarah Meuser of New Milford, Connecticut. I think it looks and sounds amazing.

Come November 3, the 100 finalists will touch down at the Omni Nashville Hotel to compete for the iconic $1 million Grand Prize in the 47th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest. Also, I will be attending to share all of the fun with all of you. I am not competing, but have been given the invitation to see the contest up-close and share it with you. I will be sharing though my social media channels while at the event. Then I will put together a post to go up here when I get back.

I was able to go to the last Bake Off that was held in Las Vegas. It was an amazing experience. The energy there is so incredible it’s like it is tangible. I got goosebumps at the beginning of the competition and even a little teary eyed.

I can’t wait to see all of the entrees and awesome people who are competing! At the event, I even got to sample many of the entries last time.

If you want to see even more yummy entries to this years competition, you can check these out too!

any advice on how to keep them warm or can you microwave them if they have been sitting for a while?
