Thanks to all for the great melting ideas.  Our newest discovery-freezing marshmallow creme in interesting shapes using liquid nitrogen and then putting outside to watch it melt!   It's also tasty frozen onto a popsicle stick and dipped in chocolate and nutella--our next staff meeting snack!



Stay cool,
Anne
