Wing and a Prayer



As I was sitting reading my Gourmet magazine one summer afternoon,  I came across an article claiming that this recipe was the best marshmallow that you will ever eat.  So since I had time on my hands and all the ingredients for that recipe I decided to give it ago.

As I was mixing up all the sweet goodness I realized I was dealing with the stickiest thing that i have ever dealt with in my life.  It was everywhere!  After i was done I cut them up and gave it the old taste test and I'll be dammed if that wasn't the best marshmallow I have ever eaten.

So fast forward about a year,  I had made a few dozen here and there just for fun and tweaking on the recipe to make it more of something that I would like to eat.

My oldest daughter came to my wife and i and asked us to cater her first coed birthday party.  She had not ever had a birthday party with all her mates from school.  So we decided that would be a good time.
She had told us that she wanted a party that the theme was BACON.  After all it was her favorite food at that time.  Everything that we made for that day had bacon in it in some way shape or form.  From hamburgers, to bacon wrapped tater tots, to bacon caramel  corn, to the star of the show a bacon marshmallow.  

This was going to be the one thing that made the kids go freaking bananas.  They were going to tell me that was soooooo gross and disgusting.  Well that is not what happened at all.  they were gone before i could even say happy birthday.

My wife looked at me and asked why we were not selling those.  "people are going to buy the hell out of those" she said.

So we came up with our name and via Face book Donna Drummonds' was born.  We sold almost 1000 pieces over thanksgiving and Christmas.  And now we are giving it a bigger launch so with all your help.  We are going to get Double D's out in to the public.
