What sounds yummier than soft, fluffy, homemade marshmallows? I recently purchased this Martha Stewart special magazine because it has a whole section on felted wool projects (more on that later...)
And, it had a recipe for homemade marshmallows. I've always wanted to try my hand at making them. So, I gathered all the ingredients...
Mixed those ingredients together...
Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet...
Let it set overnight, and then began cutting...
I wanted to make all sorts of sweet shapes using cookie cutters, but soon decided that square marshmallows are much easier...
It was actually quite easy. I'll definately make them again.
Hot chocolate will never be the same at our house...
UPDATE: The recipe can also be found at www.marthastewart.com. Just search for marshmallow snowflakes.

Your marshmallows look yummy! I just read your blog for the first time and am so happy that you are finding the rich rewards of joining the blogging community. I also just started a while back and find that I am addicted and love following other blogs. Hang in there. You are a real inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI just saw these marshmallows on someone else's blog and vowed to make me some and now I've run across yours and am truly itching to get busy making some. Yours turned out wonderful and that cup of hot chocolate looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI must try this recipe my DH and DD are marshmallow addicts! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to make those for a long time...I just didn't have a recipe. I'll for sure make them now. They look so yummy! I bet they would be pretty in different colors.
ReplyDeleteThose look great, but are they really that much better than store bought marshmallows? They look like the would be, but I wonder. I may have to try them and see. My kids would be sooo happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeletesassy mom - What a great idea! I'm sure a couple of drops of food coloring would be a fun addition.
Tiffany - They really are better-tasting. I would never eat store-bought marshmallows one after the other. But these, oh yes!
I've never even heard of homemade marshmallows but they look SO good! I bet they taste so much better, being homemade. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh yum!!! How great these would taste on hot cocoa!

I just have to comment on this b/c I saw those snowflake marshmallows in a MS magazine like 6 years ago. And when my daughter turned 2 (in January) I decided to have a snowflake party for her. I never got to make the marshmallows though...long story...but now after seeing this I WILL DO IT!
