Golden Marshmallow Sauce

1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add the boiling water to the sugar in a heavy saucepan and cook until a little less than very soft ball stage is reached (220 degrees F). Pour in the marshmallows and beat with a hand held mixer, over low heat, until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
