When I was a little girl, my mom would sometimes make meringue mushrooms.
She would powder them with cocoa and we would love how real they looked.
I was a tom boy, so I loved grossing my friends out with my mushroom obsession.
I'd always show them if they came over after school and we had a container of them around.
Even today, my friends sometimes think they're real mushrooms.
We had some missionaries over once (bless their hearts) who ate one initially thinking it was a real, candied mushroom. I'm glad he was surprised that it wasn't. That would be gross!
So now, my son was obsessed with Mario and I had been thinking at the time about what I could do for my husband & my wedding reception.
My husband and I had a second chance - so I wanted to stick with the theme.
I came up with 1up Meringue mushroom candies.
My kids loved these.
I make these sometimes now, and even the red ones!
They're always a big hit.
