This sticky goodness isn't only for eating and spreading, however; it can come in handy when baking mouthwatering desserts too. Now you have an excuse to pick up a jar and put it to good use with these recipes using marshmallow creme. (And, hey, if you don't use the whole container, all the better for snacking!)
