Marshmallow Mountain Dessert

Hi this is Teresa from Conneticut,

I have been desperately looking for a recipe my mother made every year at Thanksgiving, it was so tasty and made the holiday special. She died 15 years ago, and I never found it with her things. I am older now and want to make it for my family so much, I have looked everywhere!

The dessert was made with Marshmallows that I believe were cut up and mixed with some type of sweet cream and poured into a jello mold and refrigerated. The dessert was served cold and than a warm carmel sauce was put over it made from butter and brown sugar. My mother said she got the recipe from her great aunt who was a housekeeper for an "old money" type of family/estate in the Chicago/Evanston area.

If anyone thinks they may know this Marshmallow Mountain Dessert recipe (very well likely could be called something else, this is what my mother always called it), please so kindly respond to me. I could never thank anyone enough for providing this recipe to me! I want to return to this family tradition!

Thank you so much for reading this favor.

Warmly,

Teresa
