My sister and I decided to make this recipe to meet what all the hype was with homemade marshmallows. We planned on making information technology strictly co-ordinate to the recipe, but in one case nosotros realized how involved information technology was (for marshmallows, anyway), we decided to skip the vanilla and go with the peppermint and red food coloring idea. The results were fantastic. Now we wonder why they don't sell peppermint marshmallows in the store. It tastes corking by itself or with hot chocolate or a latte. I did use a large bowl when mixing the syrup and gelatin (the other reviewers were right-it really does explode like a scientific discipline experiment!) And the hot water really does help with cutting and clean upwards. This recipe, in peppermint course, is a keeper. Too much trouble in the regular version, I call up.

This was soooo fun!! I will note that when you combine the carbohydrate mixture with the gelatin, it explands quite a bit. Merely make certain your pan is large enough for that. I added 3/four tsp of peppermint extract to the sugar mixture after mixing with the gelatin. I as well added a swirl of red food coloring at the end, and a few crushed peppermints to the peak. I cut these and put them into clear bags and gave every bit gifts with cocoa. Beautiful presentation for the holidays or Valentine's Twenty-four hour period, yummy recipe! I will agree with some of the others that the cutting was quite labor intensive...and messy, messy. Use powdered saccharide and a warm knife.

The final product is wonderful...especially if instead of vanilla you add together peppermint extract, or caramel flavoring. I have only one complaint the recipe didn't warn us that when you add the warm gelatin mixture to the hot saccharide mixture information technology GROWS ALOT. Do NOT apply a pocket-size saucepan or you lot'll exist scraping carbohydrate boogers off of everything when the pan bubbles over.

Very nice marshmallow recipe. Having fabricated marshmallows before, I accept a couple of suggestions: 1. Later blooming the gelatin, you tin actually microwave information technology into a liquid (be conscientious not to burn it!) so pouring the syrup into it goes more than smoothly. 2. To brand a dainty apartment surface of marshmallow to work with, instead of dusting the pan with conf. carbohydrate, lightly coat it with cooking spray, then put a layer of plastic wrap on it to line the pan, and glaze the plastic wrap with cooking spray again. You tin can easily pour the marshmallow into this pan. Then cut another piece of plastic large enough to cover the marshmallow and before putting it on the marshmallow, spray that with cooking spray and put the sprayed side down on the marshmallow surface. This way, you can use your easily to flatten out the surface evenly and later letting it set upwardly, yous can just pull the plastic out of the pan and flip the marshmallow out of the greased pan. THEN you can dust it with confectioners sugar.

This will be our second yr in a row to brand this recipe (a vacation treat!). If peppermint extract is substituted for vanilla extract, and if a tiny flake of red food coloring is swirled through the mixture with a butter pocketknife earlier it sets, a delightful and colorful result ensues, perfect for dressing up a hot cocoa for a special occasion.

I dear this recipe! We used kosher gelatin. It was then good to finally take kosher marshmallows so the kids could bask smores effectually the campfire. All our friends abandoned their storebought jet-puff marshmallows to endeavour ours, they loved them too. Fun to make, easy to clean up and great flavor.

This is the best recipe for Easter! I made them and took them to a party, when I came back they were gone in about 2 minutes. I was very suprised! Afterward when everyone found out that I made them I was asked by at least 20 or 30 people for the recipe! I volition definatly use this recipe again!!!!

Nosotros used brown rice syrup instead of corn syrup because we take a little ane with a corn allergy. She's never had marshmallows before. They turned out Fabled!!! Texture and taste was perfect, nearly exactly similar store bought Peeps. YUM!!! Thanks!!!
03/08/2010
Worked out perfectly. But you accept the instructions backwards. Fluff the egg whites. And then dissolve the gelatin. And then brand the syrup.
12/16/2009
I used the exact ingredients. I put my gelatin in a basin without heating it, to the side. I could not go my carbohydrate to 250 so I made exercise when information technology leveled off at 200. It looked perfect and then perchance it was a thermometer outcome. When my syrup was ready, I plopped the gelatin into my egg whites in the mixer, then slowly poured in the very hot syrup. I didn't wait for it to cool. It worked keen. I used vanilla. What I actually desire to add to these bully reviews is that you tin can feel free to scroll your cut marshmallows in quite a bit of confectioners saccharide. I was worried they would taste like blocks of confectioners carbohydrate, but after one and two days, they only seem to go better. The confectioners carbohydrate is absorbed, makes the cut marshmallows very easy to handle, and only tastes like a light coating of sugar, like what you lot can taste on the exterior of Peeps (only not that stiff). Likewise, the half of my batch that I rolled in crushed candy cane, looked wet and sticky the next morning. I had to curl those in confectioners sugar too. It would take been best to roll them in a mixture of candy cane and confectioners carbohydrate the first time. They do taste great and I will utilise this recipe over again soon. People seemed happy to receive them as gifts considering about people wouldn't get to the trouble to make them, just are curious to taste them homemade mode.
07/08/2010
Wow. I really needed kosher marshmallows, so I tried a "professional person" recipe out of a cookbook and information technology was a horrendous bomb (white gummi worms, anyone?). Notwithstanding, necessity is the mother of motivation if nothing else, so I decided to dauntless this one. PERFECTION. Use a processed thermometer and become a pair of extra easily to keep the eggs whipping or use a standing mixer; those are the only actress tips I used. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I was freaking out because information technology's a hot, humid day hither, merely that didn't accept whatever negative effect. Yay!
06/04/2011
This is good standard recipe but I have to agree with others that if you're going to do the work you lot definitely should be making them flavored. As is I'g sure this makes good plain marshmallows only with some additions it fabricated great specialty marshmallows. I'm very grateful for the reviews made here considering I wouldn't accept known to use a large pan...thank you lot. I tried the cappuccino idea out and information technology was amazing. Just mixed together unsweetended cocoa powder, instant espresso, cinnamon, vanilla and boiling water . In one case I combined the syrup, gelatin and egg whites together I added the cappuccino mix. Keep in listen this will sparse out the marshmallow mix so you'll have to whip information technology for longer. I probably left my mixer on medium for 3-four minutes and the consistency thickened up perfectly. Just make certain it looks like something you'd accept to spread out (not cascade) into the dish...similar to a brownie batter. I can't wait to endeavour other variations like pumpkin spice or white chocolate. It's not a difficult procedure only it requires some time and cleanup. Nonetheless worth information technology in my book.
04/04/2010
I dissever the difference hither, it could be v stars for flavor, but 3 stars for vague directions...I didn't read the reviews first, and then was completely unprepared for the "explosion" in the tiny saucepan I was using...oops! turned out ok though, didn't overflow...I was worried nigh the syrup, equally I had no idea how long it would take to reach the correct temp, information technology took about 15 minutes, some timing guidelines would have been helpful...I besides didn't really know how long to vanquish the mixture for at the end, and I retrieve I stopped too before long, as I tried to make peeps, only they ended up as a flat hulk of marshmellow, I tried to wait a bit until they cooled and might concur their shape, but they didn't...still apartment blobs.. I gave up the peeps thought and poured into a sugared pan, and they turned out really great. They gustatory modality similar marshmellows, only fresher...I'll certainly try these again with a few adjustments. We're going to roast some over a bivouac this night, can't wait!
08/18/2010
These are dandy! This is my first time making any candy and it turned out okay. I didn't have a processed thermometer so I dropped a droplet of sugar into cold h2o to run into if information technology formed a rigid ball and when it did, it was around 15 minutes. Mine wasn't every bit stiff equally I thought information technology would be and I recollect information technology's considering I didn't crush information technology long enough at the end. The instructions didn't say how long to shell information technology for. And I put mine ina 9x13 pan and information technology was like a quarter of an inch thick. I'll definitely effort it again.
12/16/2007
The ingredients were practiced, but the order of doing things was off. (That'south the only reason for the iii stars) I made the beginning batch in the guild it was written, but it was very stressful. My syrup was done way before my eggs so it had to only sit down there. It got kinda clumpy so information technology didn't pour well into the eggs. The 2nd time I made it, I changed the order. I started my eggs, and then I started the geletin, then I started the sugar mixture. This was smoother going. The eggs were done before my syrup mixture so the syrup poured into the eggs nice and smooth. Also, just a yummy tip for those who want something a little different. Instead of vanilla, I bought flavoring to add to it. I did cheesecake flavour and they were so yummy!! Thanks for the recipe.
01/26/2011
These are very good, simply in that location is also much vanilla. Side by side time I volition only use one-half equally much, possibly less.
04/08/2010
I fabricated these for Easter and dipped them in mint milk chocolate. Succulent!!! They were not difficult to make and anybody enjoyed them. My daughter likes to put them in the freezer for awhile before eating. Someone said, "why would you make marshmallows?" Just like trying something new/unlike. They were a success!
11/21/2010
Yummy, soft goo! It was easy and fun to make. I have an ooloo from Alaska ant I was able to cut the marshmallows in fun shapes for hot cocoa.
07/04/2011
Yeah! This is the one. I doubled the batch, used parchment paper in a 13x9 pan and when they were ready I pulled the whole thing out onto the counter to cutting. I used all purpose flour to keep them from sticking while cutting and they turned out perfect! Beloved me some (kosher!) mallows :) Another hint: exercise yourself a favor and kickoff the gelatin 20 min earlier the syrup so it's all gear up at the same fourth dimension. Besides when you have the finished production ready to become into pans you can throw in your butter and Rice Krispies, press that into the pan and there you lot take some RK treats!
11/07/2010
The recipe is 5 stars past itself, but the directions are a little unclear, and I made some boo-boos on my own. Outset mistake was using the egg whites from a carton!!! I was existence lazy, and I paid for information technology. Second mistake was not beating the egg whites long enough. A few more mistakes, and I become something runny (but it nonetheless tastes good!) So I'll allow it prepare overnight and encounter how it turns out. but I'll endeavour my darnedest to get mine equally perfect equally the ones in the pictures! I'm using a frog mold to become the Peppermint Toads from Harry Potter! I used unlike recipes in the past, but they always worked out...
12/04/2011
Just made these and I have to say that at the kickoff of the process I thought I was going to have to chalk this one up as one of those recipes that sounds good merely doesn't live up to the hype...., I'm happy to say, that these turned out actually well. Like other reviewers have said, once you have these, you won't want to go back to the store bought marshmallows! A couple of things I noted for the next fourth dimension I make them: 4T of unflavored gelatin = five envelopes of Knox; become your h2o simmering, so in one case you add the Knox to your ane/2 c water, yous tin set that on top right abroad - otherwise it gets a little clumpy - which, past the way, does dissolve once it warms up; the vanilla you lot employ makes a large difference in taste, and finally, work fast when getting the terminal production into your pan - waiting fifty-fifty a minute or two makes it a scrap harder to spread. Fun recipe that tastes great! Will exist giving these with gourmet hot chocolate and vintage looking mugs for Christmas gifts. Cheers for sharing!!
02/10/2002
I used a mixture of toasted coconut and confectioner's carbohydrate to coat the marshmallows - very tasty! Exist careful when adding the gelatin mixture to the hot syrup mixture. I must accept added it besides chop-chop (in likewise modest a pot) because the whole thing started to overflow. Next time, I'd exercise this part over the sink.
12/fifteen/2011
I found that if you let the syrup mixture absurd for a few minutes earlier you lot add the gelatin it doesn't foam over the smaller pan. The marshmallows were the exact same! :D
xi/18/2010
Great recipe, an easy to follow way to make dwelling house-fabricated marshmallows but I think there was a little too much vanilla involved. Slightly overbearing. Otherwise, a keeper.
12/19/2010
very messy and fourth dimension consuming only WELL worth the time!! these are yummy!
12/29/2010
These didn't plow out quite the way I expected - I retrieve after reading some reviews I will add together more flavoring next time. Also they were VERY difficult to cut, perhaps pipage them out is the all-time answer. I'll likely try over again but after reading more into other recipes.
04/x/2009
This recipe is great. However, I dusted the pan with cornstarch rather than powdered sugar, as that's what the manufacturers use, and it costs less. For Easter, I filled an oblong pan about one-half full of cornstarch, so used a plastic Easter egg to make impressions in the cornstarch. Then I put the marshmallow into the impressions. After it gear up upwardly, I dipped the marshmallow eggs in chocolate, and added icing decorations after the chocolate fix. Voila! Marshmallow Easter eggs! I used an extra large ellipsoidal pan, and a medium sized plastic egg. I had room in the pan to make 12 eggs, and had marshmallow left over, which I put into a foursquare pan.
05/31/2011
This is the first marshmallow recipe I've used with egg whites, then I was curious to see how it came out versus the sugar/gelatin only version. I thought the amount of gelatin was too loftier, so I cut it down to i packet per cup of carbohydrate and information technology turned out perfectly. These were much lighter than my previous ones and they kept their volume. They also weren't crazy sweetness, with is what I like. I plan on making these again.
04/05/2011
I just couldn't waite to make these. My husband loves peeps. He said these were actually great. They do taste proficient, just I couldn't get them to look like peeps. I tried putting some into a plastic handbag to pipe out. That didn't work at all. I concluded up useing a spoon and my finger. I will be trying again. I don't accept a themomature but I thought it was easy to make. Wish I could have made them into shapes though.
12/29/2009
FIRSTLY, ONLY COMBINE THE SUGAR MIXTURE AND GELATIN IN A Large BOWL OR PAN. I am not an experienced candy maker so I did not know that information technology would EXPLODE. I completely ruined the start batch. Subsequently that, everything worked great and I will make these again. These are phenomenal. I made these for my work Christmas Cookie Boxes and anybody loved them and couldn't believe they were homemade. I would beloved to try the swirl design in the picture but maybe after a few successful batches. I will certainly be making these over again. I am only giving it less stars because of the lack of alarm near mixing methods.
04/nineteen/2003
I did non care for this recipe at all. The gelatin doesn't mix in with the egg whites, and it leaves the marshmallow in chunks. We tried to brand easter chicks out of them, and they wouldn't shape. The sugar wouldn't even stick to them. We nigh ruined our mixer trying to make them the stuff got so difficult.
04/27/2009
I used this recipe to brand chocolate covered eggs for Easter. The marshmallow part was relatively easy to make, but not like shooting fish in a barrel plenty to make my own marshmallows rather than buy them from the store! I used a pastry handbag with no tip to brand marshmallow shapes with the mixture before it hardened. This was not very easy, and the mixture hardened earlier I could plough all of it into eggs. After letting them sit overnight, I dusted them with a little powdered sugar then dipped the eggs in chocolate coating. They tasted simply like the marshmallow eggs from the store! My family really loved them, and they looked and tasted great. Cheers for sharing!
05/25/2012
Crawly!!! so heady to brand my own marshmallows!! :D I would say to pour the gelatin into the syrup very slowly and advisedly because at first it will chimera up really high - simply go along whisking it until information technology settles & then pour the rest of the gelatin in. Thanks!!
04/10/2010
These are then fun! I idea the directions worked just fine as written, although I did use a large saucepan. I fabricated the "peppermint" variation others suggested, and it was great. Besides, the second fourth dimension I made them I greased the pan instead of using confectioners sugar. The 10x carbohydrate got very hard and clumpy when I used it the get-go time.
07/06/2011
Very good. SO when I fabricated them there was no "explosion" or "expansion" of the saccharide/gelatin mixture. I was worried it wouldn't work only when I mixed it with the egg whites it worked great. At beginning information technology took a while in my kitchenaid mixer to get the egg white/sugar/gelatin mixture to course strong peaks merely it did "grow" in size. I got a doulble batch from this ane recipe. Double meaning I made two 8x8 pans with leftovers! My husband a three twelvemonth onetime liked the marshmallow cream. I made i batch as the recipe chosen for and the other batch peppermint. It only took me 30 minutes. I will definently make once again!
06/15/2011
I did not intendance for it at all! lousy instructions, the egg white and the gelatin separated.
04/17/2011
Nevertheless cooling, but I snuck a taste or 2 while they were still hot and it was really yummy! I have some leftover yellow nutrient coloring and banana flavoring, then I may add those next time.
06/03/2012
This recipe makes fantastic marshmallows! The directions are a petty vague, but after working out the kinks, I tin brand marshmallows in about half an hour in any season possible. Brand sure to add the gelatin mix very slowly and whisk into the saccharide syrup. To mix it up a little bit, add 1/4 c. Cocoa pulverisation, 1 tsp almond excerpt, or peppermint excerpt.
03/29/2009
This showtime time I made this the marshmallows didn't turn out. Simply that was my fault because I didn't mix the marshmallows long enough and I didn't have a processed thermometer. I strongly recommend buying a candy thermometer to make this recipe. The 2d fourth dimension I fabricated these they turned out wonderfully. Everybody devoured these marshmallows. This recipe would be great for making your own marshmallow chicks at easter.
07/nineteen/2011
We made them with blood-red flavored gelatin (more often than not because we were out of unflavored) and they were succulent! I'll definitely be using this recipe again.
12/17/2007
Unfortunately I must have missed the review that said use a big bowl to mix the gelatin and sugar... It went everywhere and burned all over my new stove ... bad bargain USE A Big BOWL to mix sugar and gelatin.. or else!
01/fourteen/2007
I can see why Emily is famous. Our family does not eat pork products, then homemade marshmallows are the only fashion for us to enjoy them. I go beef gelatin at Akins. And allow me tell you, Sa'mores made from these marshmallows are to dice for! Oh yes, they are the best for hot chocolate also! I can just imagine "Peeps", moon pies, rocky route ice cream...I accept to get make some other batch.
12/29/2009
I simply made them! I didn't accept whatever problem or explosions. I spent some fourth dimension prepping: Get-go I mixed the saccharide, syrup and water and just put information technology is a large nonstick saucepan on the stove. Next I mixed the gelatin and water in the top of a double boiler and set it on the stove. So I shell the ii egg whites like the recipe suggested. Later all of that I boiled the syrup mixture and heated the water in the double boiler to deliquesce the gelatin. I also used a candy thermometer for the syrup mixture. I don't accept a standing mixer, so I poured the gelatin/syrup into a smaller more manageable container and slowly added information technology to the egg whites. I had to beat it for quite a while on loftier, simply it came out great! I likewise used peppermint and little vanilla. Finally I mixed a piffling food coloring into it! :)
08/07/2007
I fabricated this bootleg marshmallow to replace a marshmallow topping for s'mores pie that used 5 egg whites, because I didn't accept that many. Despite some difficulty getting the gelatine to dissolve, it ended up making a LOT of tasty marshmallow. I added extra vanilla, because I really like it. In the end, I but take i pocket-size alarm - beware of the farthermost stickyness! I've found that it's easier to cutting the marshmallow if you run a sharp knife under hot water then dry out it off (otherwise the marshmallow will stick to information technology and you will NEVER get information technology off cleanly)
ten/06/2004
Okay all you Mounds Bar lovers, hither's a fun tip with your bootleg marshmallows. Allow your marshmallows to "age" for 24 hours. Brand certain they are nicely coated on all sides with powered sugar (milkshake of excess). You'll need a loving cup each of chocolate chips and flaked sweetened coconut. Melt some dark chocolate chips (about a cup for i minute on high in microwave, stir, and heat a few seconds longer if chips aren't melting when stirred.) Take a cookie sheet and encompass with waxed paper, set up bated. Take one marshmallow, and with the slightly cooled chocolate spread all sides except the lesser. A pocket-size spoon works fine for this. Set this on the lined cookie sail and immediately sprinkle and pat coconut on all the chocolate covered surfaces. Practise the aforementioned with the remaining chocolate and coconut. Let these sit for a couple of hours for chocolate to "set up". This simply makes about 6 (I cut my marshmallows into 2 inch squares prior to all of this). Just repeat the procedure if y'all want more. Work in small batches to proceed the chocolate at the right temperature. These are fabled alone or served on top of a hot brownie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So piece of cake, and so incredible!!
04/04/2004
This recipe was a disaster for me! It definitely was NOT easy. Information technology created quite a mess. I offset reviewed this in 2003. Now there are so many reviews to read mayhap I could observe my mistake. Later seeing the cute pictures, I'm going to have to requite this another try. Information technology was a rainy solar day, perhaps that was a problem.
12/17/2008
Great recipe! To prep the pan, I grease it with butter, line information technology with foil, grease the foil, and so glaze liberally with powdered sugar! Works Smashing! I used a nine X xiii pan too... and just cut them in squares and tossed in powdered sugar. Yums!
12/05/2008
I'grand giving these every bit christmas gifts this twelvemonth and they are super easy and even more than tasty! I just let them sit for 2 hours, and cut them out with mini cookie cutters and they turned out fine. After cutting, still, I permit them sit for probably 4-5 hours, but so they harden slightly. That fashion they don't stick to eachother.
12/24/2011
I tried this recipe 3 times, following the instructions to a T and taking the advice of the reviewers here, yet still when I had left them overnight they were just a goopy mess in the morning. Very disappointing, I was planning on cutting them up and giving them every bit gifts today, but at present I have to make a concluding infinitesimal run to the store to buy something instead.
12/xviii/2002
this recipe was just horrible. the ggs white separated from the gelatin and i had articulate at the bottom and white meringue on the meridian. took a bite of it and the consistency and taste was disgusting. i'k done trying to make marshmallows. likewise much work and not that corking. i don't know how the previous reviewers did information technology.
02/03/2010
So expert! I am amazed, I had no thought one could make marshmallows at home, when I found the recipe I gave it a try.. They came out great! My husband says they taste but similar store bought ones. Yum!
04/21/2011
The kids and I loved this recipe. Nosotros used my favorite vanilla from Cozumel, Mexico and it took on that great flavor. We colored sugar by adding a few drops of food coloring to near 3/4 cup of regular carbohydrate in a sandwich sized zip lock bag. Nosotros used the colored carbohydrate to coat our "Peeps".
03/31/2011
I love to experiment with recipes. Since joining Allrecipes I have had more fun making and blistering things that I was ever was curious about. This recipe has satisfied the cupboard pharmacist in Me and the candy maker fantasy, at onetime . I impressed Myself! Thank You lot Emily!
06/25/2008
This Recipe is Swell! A word of communication though. If you don't want the simple syrup and gel to foam everywhere, wisk in a tiny flake of the gelitin until the cream disappears THEN wisk in the residual. NO MESS! I added 2 tsp of vanilla for extra popular. The family unit loved them. With everything in front end of you in the store you get the idea that bootleg is hard but they are not, I dont think I'll be buying Marshmallows again!
01/18/2010
Very piece of cake and fun to make. I made the pepermint and then cut them into star shapes. Kids and adults get a big kick out of them. Even people who merits "ooh, I'm not a fan of marshallows." love them.
03/eleven/2009
So very yummy! This was my first time attempting marshmallows so I read the reviews then followed the recipe with one sub. I didn't accept unflavored gelatin, so I used a package of carbohydrate complimentary strawberry jello. By the other reviews I was expecting this to have awhile,just I think from prep to make clean-up took 30 minutes tops! I did utilise my stand mixer which moved things along. I would deff. recommend this recipe and will be making again!
11/22/2008
My son, Nathan, helped to make this recipe. He couldn't await to see how information technology was going to puff up. Be prepared to take extra fourth dimension to get it up to the right temperature, he did await patiently. It likewise takes quite awhile to whip it to a stiff peak. That was a fun term to explicate to him. Finally, they were ready to put into the pan. Now but 8 more hours to wait. Well, first thing this morning time he cutting into them. His expert opinion, "Mom, their awesome, they are ameliorate and then the real ones!" Then I tried them, I definitely agree with him. I loved the vanilla taste and can't wait to try them in hot chocolate. Mmmm! We desire to try them again with peppermint. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
06/29/2007
I made these once and they didn't work but I think that was my fault the 2d time I made them they were perfect! I've had them for a fleck of time and they're still good. They make a really dainty melted top for hot chocolate.
eleven/20/2008
WONDERFUL, perfect, fluffy marshmallows! Thank you and so much for this smashing recipe. My kids loved making these. We volition exist making them for years to come to become with our homemade Christmas hot cocoa! One note: Be sure to follow the recipe advisedly and whip until the mixture is very strong in the last pace. I am going to try calculation peppermint extract and a little green color side by side time. :)
12/21/2005
This was a fun recipe and information technology turned out cracking. I'm very glad that I had a stand mixer though considering it took at least ten minutes for the egg white mixture to go hard. I did add peppermint excerpt - wow - be careful! I used 1/2 tsp and it was way too much. Side by side time I will also make them in a bigger pan then that they aren't so thick.
12/01/2011
These were a disaster, simply a tasty disaster that ended up ok after all. I completely burned the offset batch, due to my make new candy thermometer which was 60 degrees off. Go figure. I knew I should accept calibrated that matter... Second batch went much improve just using the cold water test. Unfortunately I was interrupted in the middle by my 2 month old, so after breaking for a quick feeding, my gelatin mixture was already beginning to set up. I tried to pour it into my egg white mixture anyways, only "pouring" was sort of a joke past this point, so it was more like gloppy spoonfuls that got pulled up into the spinning machinery of my KA mixer. Glop got EVERYWHERE. And I do mean EVERYWHERE. My hubby essentially had to partially dismantle my mixer to get it make clean. I don't know how I really got ENOUGH of the glop into the egg mixture to actually brand these piece of work, but somehow I must've! These were fantastic in cocoa and I also used them to make an AWESOME homemade peppermint mocha. (Fabricated peppermint mallows instead of vanilla). My kids were eating them by the spoonful. Fifty-fifty I enjoyed them, and I actually detest marshmallows. Then, despite the disasters, phone call me crazy, but I'grand making some other batch today. Just thing I'll change is to cutting the peppermint extract to 1/two tsp. One total tsp was just a picayune too strong for my tastes. Side by side projection: Hot chocolate on a stick with a bootleg peppermint marshmallow in betwixt 2 chocolate blocks.
11/20/2009
Fantastic!! Directions are very articulate and if followed will plow out perfection. I used peppermint extract instead of vanilla and dipped some of mine in chocolate for an actress care for. I used Knox make gelatin and the amount called for in the recipe was an entire box which is iv packets. These are much more expensive to make than store bought but they taste better and the extra bonus is me, my oldest son, and granpa had a smash in the kitchen making these. I would highly suggest this recipe for some mega fun in the kitchen!!!
12/03/2005
These were first-class. Very good recipe. I followed directions exactly and also used the knife in hot h2o play a trick on. I had read some other proffer stating y'all would use ane bundle of gelatin, I used 4 (that is in one box) to equal iv Tablespoons of gelatin. I also had to add a touch more hot water to the gelatin to arrive dissolve. These are very adept, and not as tough to make as you may think. I did make mine on a clear day and I would definitly suggest that to anyone making them. Happy eating!
12/xiv/2009
These are awesome! They are then easy and fun! Nosotros colored them Christmas colors. I did non find whatsoever problem cutting them, I just used a sharp knife and it was fine. We buttered and and so powdered sugared our pan considering the sugar didn't stick otherwise. And yeah, don't utilize a small pan or information technology volition explode! I use a medium one and it only barely fit without making a mess. Crawly recipe!
12/23/2012
Great tasting marshmallows. I mixed the icing sugar with a picayune corn starch to go along it flowing ameliorate (it's a bit warm here then information technology tends to clump). I but used a saucepan and heated it gently for the gelatin and it worked fine. I didn't accept likewise much of a trouble with the syrup and gelatin bubbling, I used a big pot and let information technology sit for a minute before I whisked the gelatin in. The only hard part was trying to whisk egg whites and syrup together with a hand mixer (skillful workout) I likewise let mine sit overnight before cut

I accept never tried making homemade marshmallows before and so this was a real test. I thought they were expert but sticky and hard to work with . Side by side time I will use the cornstarch tip because I seem to be using a lot of powdered sugar to continue them from sticking together and now they seem a little too sweet. I crushed some candy canes in the food processor and dusted the marshmallows with them then subsequently cut I shook the sticky marshmallows in a pocketbook with some more processed cane and powdered sugar. They looked beautiful and tasted swell! Definitely going to make once again and effort a few alterations.

Read the reviews first!!!! I did the recipe a bit backwards due to some previous reviews and it worked out perfectly. I started the saccharide mixture out cooking, then bloomed the gelatine and placed that over the simmering pot of h2o in a LARGE metal mixing basin. (the size you would use for a cake) So while both mixtures were doing their respective things, I started the egg whites. They took a few minutes and I actually had a few minutes more to wait until the sugar reached the correct temperature. Other reviewers were correct, the sugar takes about 15 minutes and mine never got to 250, I stopped waiting for information technology at 240. I poured the SUGAR mixture INTO the gelatine mixture, no problem with the explosion problems, I used a minor bucket for the sugar mixture. I did the trick with greasing the pan, then lining it with plastic wrap and greasing that again. Covered all with a greased plastic top also and Voila!, all seems groovy. I checked them a few minutes ago, thirty minutes after putting them in the pan and they seem like calorie-free, fluffy, softly jelled marshmallows. Zip tough and chewy looking however, just fluffy and pretty. Has that texture correct at present of the Coconut jello at the Hawaiian restaurants. My plan is to cutting them into processed sized squares, dip all but one side in melted caramel and and then dark chocolate. *** I just shell them for about 5 minutes afterwards adding all together so I hope I didn't under beat them, they got thicker, yes, but not overly thick.

This is the best marshmallow recipe I've tried and I'll definitely stick with it. I did add a pinch of common salt to the hot mixture while information technology was whipping, and I used 1 tbsp. of clear vanilla. These were HEAVENLY to make s'mores with. HEAVENLY. Null similar storebought - lite and creamy and barely sticky. I know the recipe says to let them sit overnight, merely mine are always generally ready in nearly 30 minutes, and I'thousand able to cut them within two hours.
03/31/2010
These were perfect. I made them equally written, but put the mixture in a 13x9, not a 9x9. I'm glad I did. I was able to cut many marshmallows for cocoa. I am looking forward to making this with peppermint excerpt next. Peachy recipe!
04/06/2009
This is a peachy recipe. Only you should have a Kitchen Aid mixer, I don't, the fluff climbed up my beaters.I made the marshmallows, so the chewy caramel from this site. I layered some caramel over the marshmallow, sprinkled some nuts on, then dipped in almond bark. YUM!
11/02/2005
This was a fun recipe. I told the kids it was more than like a scientific discipline experiment than baking! We had a great time making it and were surprised to detect that it tasted just similar marshmallows you buy in the store. We rolled ours in powdered sugar as others have suggested. That kept them from sticking to each other after being cut. Great for fondue dipping! I appreciate this recipe since it doesn't have all the chemical perserves that store bought marshmallows have. We are planning on making these again when all the cousins come to visit for Thanksgiving.
03/11/2006
I had high hopes for this recipe, but it unfortunately didn't turn out- Information technology never solidified (it stayed the consistency of frosting) and it had an odd palatableness. Information technology'south not the all-time candy, just it would make an overnice frosting or filling for a block.
04/03/2012
Deplorable, did non like these at all. Extremely moist and while the set only fine, they tend to exist more similar a thick mousse rather than marshmallow. I likewise made a different recipe right after this with three/4 loving cup of calorie-free corn syrup and no egg white and it came out perfect!! Going with the other one as my favorite.
12/01/2013
Tip: instead of cutting - employ mini-cupcake pan instead! Worked perfectly to accept rounded marshmallows, which separate very easily - just tug gently to carve up. As well, I filled the cups with nonpareils (rainbow) which worked just as well as confectionery sugar and made for some pretty marshmallows.
06/02/2008
These didn't last for fifty-fifty an hour! I dusted them in cinnamin and carbohydrate after cooled. I took the other half and dunked them in melted caramel...wow...these are to die for!! Whenever making candy you have to brand sure your saccharide is dissolved. Don't eddy besides long or too short otherwise information technology just won't piece of work.
12/15/2009
This is a great recipe! I am glad I read other reviews first, though, as the larger pan recommendation for mixing the carbohydrate and gelatin mix was really important! I got a little confused with the word 'strong' in the instructions for the consistency for the concluding mixing. It fabricated me think it would be more like a cookie dough or something. Information technology actually is more like a very thick frosting - or, more appropriately, marshmallow creme!! ;^D Well worth the effort - I will definitely brand these once more. Next time, I'll endeavor peppermint.

This made a big gooey mess. All the same, subsequently reading a bunch of different marshmallow recipes, I recollect I found my mistake. Marthacrocker13'south review while very helpful, also lead me astray. The most mutual gelatin packets that I found have near half a tablespoon of gelatin in information technology. This recipe calls for 4 tablespoons and so I fell quite a bit short on gelatin. Most of the recipes I've read phone call anywhere for 3-iv packets of gelatin for the amount of saccharide used in this recipe then if I did iv tablespoons it may be too much gelatin but I don't really know since I've not tried information technology. The next time I do this recipe, I will probably use 3 packets of gelatin and only a loving cup of water though. But I volition endeavour it again, because I am curious equally to the difference egg whites make to marshmallow. The recipe that did work for me didn't use them. This recipe could be profoundly improved by the author including a annotation regarding how many gelatin packets to utilize, since it is a common way to buy gelatin. If I had gotten it to work, I would have given the recipe a four since its for marshmallow's and non something more complex.
07/12/2008
Fantastic! Used simple paw mixer and did not have a thermometer and then I dropped a bit off the spoon into common cold h2o and when it hits the bottom use your finger and move the syrup mixture a bit to see if it forms a firm ball. Apply large bowl for the egg as you will be combining the syrup and gelatin mixture into information technology and you volition be mixing information technology so information technology will need the room.
04/16/2008
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Who ever thought you could make marshmallows from scratch!!! What fun!! Accept heed to all the communication for using a Big sauce pan every bit the carbohydrate-mix does aggrandize significantly when you add together the gelatin. But don't worry! If y'all're prepared for it, it'll be fine. I made these with my three daughters and 3 friends. We were all really impressed! What an impressive science experiment. I can't say I'll give upwardly completely on store bought marshmallows, simply because of convenience, but I'll definitely make these again, only for the fun of it. Thanks HBIC!!

I tried this recipe every bit a outset foray into candy making. The results were very skillful and my family actually enjoyed the marshmallows. I used i/2 tsp peppermint extract instead of vanilla. This was added when beating the final mixture. I institute some tips in the reviews helpful: - Do the egg whites first, then the gelatin, then the sugar mixture. - Apply a pizza cutter to cut the finished product - Utilise a stand up mixer if you lot have one - I lined the pan with plastic wrap coated with non-stick spray. The marshmallows fell right out. - Using a mixture of 1 part powdered carbohydrate and i part cornstarch to coat the marshmallows eliminates stickiness. I found the comments nigh the sugar mixture foaming up when the gelatin is added to be exaggerated somewhat. It does foam upward just but for a moment. A medium saucepan is fine. Use caution when beating the last mixture, if information technology gets too stiff it becomes hard to pour and spread in the pan. Information technology did spread but the tops of my marshmallows were "mountainous" instead of smooth. Next time I will pour into pan when the mixture still drips slowly from the beater blade.

I made this and it turned out bully, I added four drops of pepermint oil, and so folded in 4 drops of randomly placed red food coloring to brand peppermint "processed cane" marshmallows. awsome
12/xix/2005
I made these as a Christmas treat, and they are Delicious! I also constitute them quite piece of cake to make. I establish that they were set afterwards just a few hours in the fridge. I cutting them into squares and rolled them in toasted coconut - YUM! Thanks for the smashing recipe - I will definitely make them again!
12/31/2004
These were the nearly fun, nigh awesome, well-nigh yummiest matter I've ever made! Even though I messed up the recipe (I added the gelatin too quickly/as well soon, and information technology overflowed all over the stovetop) it still solidified and I had a delightful fourth dimension making shapes out of the goo and decorating them. <3
12/02/2003
I don't know why some people take experienced so many problems with this recipe. The only thing I tin can think of is that marshmallow is a candy and must be made on a dry day. Nor should they be made while anything is producing steam on the stove (makes the kitchen humid). I used this recipe and the marshmallows were perfect. People could non believe I had done this myself. Very, very good
xi/01/2008
These are really great, simply they don't always set up up as house as I would like, but don't be agape to attempt them and play around with the season. We have fabricated all kinds including peppermint, chocolate, vanilla edible bean, caramel, etc. What great christmas presents with some homemade hot chocolate.
02/02/2006
Fantabulous in hot chocolate! Be prepared for the intensely bad odour of the boiling gelatin. I volition only brand this on special occasions because the attempt needed is great in comparing to ownership a simple bag.
12/06/2005
I've made these twice, and they're fabulous. Final fourth dimension around I dipped them in melted semi-sweet chocolate and rolled them in not-pareils for a real gourmet care for!
11/22/2005
While these marshmallows gustatory modality skilful, I found them to be quite sticky and difficulty to handle. I made them the same evening that I made my own recipe for marshmallow peeps. The gustation was almost identical, but the peeps were softer and easier to handle. The peeps may take a little longer to ready before they are ready to be cut. I as well like the fact that the peeps recipe takes less gelatin, making them cheaper to brand.

Merely tried this recipe for the kickoff time, for my stepchildren, who are vegetarian, but who are dying to try marshmallows.I used vegan gelatin instead (couldn't observe agar agar anywhere; I bought "Natural Desserts' unflavored jel dessert"). I had read all the previous reviews, and i took a reviewer's idea to take the steps backwards -preparing the eggs first, then the gelatin, and so the syrup, and when that was done, mix with the gelatin, and finish by adding that to the eggs. Worked like a charm. I was disappointed though, at the final step, to Non see the whole thing "exploding", "expanding", etc... like others take. I had prepared myself for it (used my big KitchenAid bowl for it), and was expected to see it, but it didn't happen. So I wonder if i've done something wrong (I did follow the recipe exactly; the only matter dissimilar was the vegan gelatin, so , maybe that changed something? Anyways, at least i didn't have whatsoever mess to clean up! :D Correct now the marshmallows are even so resting. I did taste some off the spatula that i used for spreading the "paste" into the dish, and it tasted really fine, actually like a marshmallow that you let melt in your mouth. I'm still waiting to see them stale though. Most the drying procedure, has anyone tried putting them in a warm oven? I was wondering whether that would help or non... PS: it's been viii hours, and there's a crust on summit, merely underneath, it's all the same marshmallow mush... :( Is information technology linked to the vegan gelatin? To the "non-exploding
03/22/2008
Yeah, I definitely have to agree with the other reviewers who said that it would have been nice to know that the gelatin/candy mixture EXPLODES when you combine it. Unfortunately, I read the reviews also late. I literally just ran to my reckoner to find out what I did wrong, and voila, the start review told me all I needed to know. I only hope that what remains in the "small-scale bucket" is salveagable. Anybody volunteer to come over and clean my stove?
03/26/2005
Surprisingly like shooting fish in a barrel to make, though a little messy. I call up I overbeat mine or just let them sit down too long before piping them into "chicks" for easter, so by the time I was one-half done the fluff was unmanageably stiff and I had to spread it in a pan. However the terminal consequence was tasty and the consistency was fine. I'll brand them again, now that I know a fiddling ameliorate how the recipe goes.

A very thoughtful friend gave me a box of handcut marshmallows from Williams-Sonoma this by Dec since she know'due south I'thou a marshmallow aficionado. I went to reorder them from the Westward-S website simply hesitated when I saw the price. Of course, I checked out All-Recipes and establish Emily'southward recipe. Well, I tried information technology right away and have to say I wouldn't change a thing. These were piece of cake, taste wonderful (utilize Real vanilla!) and very impressive for a minimal amount of work. Not just do I love them and the oos and aahs I get from my adult friends, but my seven and 8 year-old both love them and accept their friends jealous and request for them whenever they come over to play. Way to become Emily....this i's a keeper~
11/28/2007
little messy to make, merely well worth information technology. I will never purchase marshmallows from the store again.
06/12/2009
Pretty straightforward recipe (I e'er check reviews anyway). I had so much fun making this... Yes information technology's messy, and glutinous, but information technology'due south marshmallows! :) who ever heard of bootleg marshmallows... wish I'd thought of kosher gelatin. Sometime I'll use this for rice crispy treats. I fabricated these into due south'more cupcakes.

I got adventurous with this recipe and used Jello and Knox for more flavored multifariousness. I used the new Mango flavor. Mmmm... FYI- i pocket-size box of Jello is equal to ane 1-TBSP package of Knox. I used 3 packages of Jello to 1 parcel of Knox and the flavor is a bit strong! I would advise ii small boxes of Jello to 2 1-Tbsp packages of Knox. Also, the flavor of Jello you lot choose shouldn't alter your marshmallow colour at all. As I said, 3 packages of Mango Jello and they're still white! Exist sure to really whip the mallow mixture before you endeavor to pipe for peeps. You should see the mixture starting to brawl upward in your Kitchen Aid - otherwise you'll become flat Easter Eggs. Just nonetheless tasty!
05/29/2009
I made bootleg peeps and they didn't turn out as well as I expected. The marshmallow was as well soft to hold the beak peeks! They were however cute but the directions provided past allrecipes staff aren't very skillful and the main motion-picture show they show is very different than the footstep by step directions that prove y'all how to make a very different niggling chick.
11/27/2005
These were a mess -- didn't solidify even after 48 hours. It could exist because I used kosher gelatin.
12/17/2007
Yummy! 2 tips that will help any marshmallow recipe: 1. use one/2 cup of the water called for to dissolve your gelatin. Before heating the carbohydrate mixture, put the gelatin and 1/2cup COLD water together in your mixer and let it deliquesce. Must be Cold h2o, that's the play tricks. #2 When you lot brainstorm the final mixing, start on low or medium-low. The mixture will thicken every bit it cools and you can gradually turn up the speed to ultra-high without flinging it out of the bowl.
04/07/2009
wonderful!
