on Dec 02, 2014, Updated Nov 18, 2023 19 Comments We’ve been singing the song from the Target commercial continuously. You know the one? “It’s a marshmallow world in the winter…” Well, we have it stuck in our heads and are constantly humming it around here. As soon as I think I’ve shaken it, Little Buddy will walk through the house humming it. And he says the same thing about me. That’s probably what prompted me to make batch after batch of marshmallows. Some were pure vanilla, others were vanilla bean where the tiny specks were visible. But once again we all agreed that our favorites continue to be the classic, pure white, sugar dusted, fluffy as a cumulus cloud marshmallows. We must be marshmallow purists at heart! Ha! Through making them and having failures along the way over the years, there are a few tricks that I want to share with you to get the fluffiest, most delicious marshmallows possible.
Marshmallow Making Tips
Use lukewarm water for dissolving your gelatin Make sure the temperature of your syrup is a steady 240º F before removing from the heat Give your gelatin mixture and syrup a quick stir before whipping to make sure no gelatin has stuck to the bottom of your mixing bowl Oil your rubber scraper with coconut oil or shortening as it helps the marshmallow mixture to easily release without staining the marshmallows
Use them for making s’mores or topping your homemade hot chocolate or, if you are like us, you just like to grab a one as a little sweet treat! Here’s my Marshmallow Recipe. I hope you love them as much as we do! Enjoy!Robyn xo
