  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon green liquid food coloring

Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat.
  2. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat, then mix in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until well combined.
