The Best Homemade Marshmallow Recipe

[@gordycummings]

My family has been in the candy business for nearly 100 years. You can stir the batch and much as you want, it will not turn to sugar. You much wash the sides of the pot down with hot water periodically however. Generally after the sugar has dissolved we generally don't stir it because there is no need.

[@susanmyers5085]

I have been making marshmallows for many years. (Over 40 years!) The only difference is that the recipe I use does not use the corn syrup. Summertime the stores used to come out with toasted coconut coated marshmallows. So, I toast coconut and roll mine in that. It is a winner! Nothing compares to the homemade marshmallow. (My recipe came from the "Farm Journal Homemade Candy Cookbook". I hope everyone tries them.

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Would you have a recipe that uses gelatin sheets at all please? In the UK we tend to have sheets not granules of gelatin and I've found it so hard to convert successfully as all recipes use granules! (gold 200 bloom is the standard type)

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

@@chloe.cordeiro Thank you so much!

[@verob3868]

Whats the recipe with no corn dyrup?

[@mymai5859]

OP agree - old timey recipe without corn syrup/glucose & rolled in toasted coconut - the best.

Would you mind sharing yours too?:)

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

It's actually surprising how easy marshmallows are to make at home - I made them one year as a gift when I was on a very tight budget and I think it's still probably one of the best-received gifts that I ever gave to people. Edit: It always puzzles me to see comments where people expressing surprise/horror about how much sugar is involved in making candy. I'm honestly not sure what some people think candy is made from! LOL

[@staceykester2914]

Yes! Nothing is more irritating than Karen coming and nit picking the ingredients in the video, WHY ARE YOU HERE?! WHY ARE YOU EVEN WATCHING IF YOU KNOW SO MUCH?! Just like the people who give a recipe 1 star reviews and then go on to list all the substitutions and deviations they took. YOUR recipe sucked, you didnt make THIS.

[@kathysing5712]

Love making homemade marshmallows. I offer them thru my business, Kathy's Kernels. I use a large pizza cutter to cut the length of the marshmallows. Then I use scissors to cut each individual square. I also roll then in powder sugar and put 2 at a time in a sieve and shake the excess sugar off. Works like a charm. Thanks for the video!

[@adamwright3816]

Thank you so much. I've just watched what feels like 700 videos on marshmallows and finally someone said how long it takes for gelatine to "bloom". Plus you're style is very watchable. Unlike some who seem to go for the "doouchie super bowl voice over I'm way too enthusiastic and need to be slapped" voice lol

[@jessiemorell7676]

I made marshmallows often for kiddos at our church. My recipe is different from most as I only use sugar, salt, gelatine, water and vanilla. I make a coating using powdered sugar and corn starch. My husband and grandkids like mine but not store bought!! Glad your site came on my feed tonight.

[@lyndim100]

Love how you explained about the the water needing to evaporate before the temp can rise.

[@funkyhatcat]

Just tried your recipe! Amazing! I added matcha powder to my gelatin mixture and the flavour/texture of these marshmallows is insanely good!!!! I used maple syrup instead of honey and didn't add vanilla so the matcha flavour really stands out

[@chloe.cordeiro]

That sounds delicious!!

[@amitang4540]

Love how funny you are and showing issues during the process like all of us endure all the time. I will definitely make this except I will be making little balls instead of squares. Fingers cross that mine would come out. Thanks!

[@nancyalfaro5074]

Made these yesterday as I wanted to use some to decorate a S’mores cake I am making. I cut them this morning and they came out PERFECT even though I didn’t have someone to help me getting into the pan! I didn’t change a thing. Instructions were perfect. Thank you for another great recipe!!!

[@SugarGeekShow]

So glad you liked them!!!

[@prettybrowneyez3338]

I just made marshmallows and it's true: They disappear in your mouth and they taste AMAZING. I actually made them for my kids, sorta like a project. I don't like marshmallows at all, at least the store bought ones. But THESE marshmallows are DE 👏🏼LI 👏🏼CIOUS lol. Despite the sugar, corn syrup and honey (I used maple) you can hardly taste it because it just melts in your mouth. Thank you Liz, for another winner recipe ❤️🙏🏼

[@scottholloway316]

My kids asking this morning how are marshmallows made while sipping on their hot cocoa, so here we are. This was such a great video for my kiddoes. I knew in the first 1 or 2 minutes that you went to culinary school. Bench scrapers are simply the best, I use them a lot. I love the make-up brush idea and will definitely be adding that to my chefs bag. 👏🏻👏🏻. So we subscribed to your channel and are looking forward to watching all the good things you make.

[@jocelynperez7484]

Love how you explain what you do and why you do it. Makes a click happen upstairs that I wouldn’t of made myself without your explanation. Lol. Usually in Recipes, I do what they say but don’t know why I do so it’s a good change! Super interesting also!

[@lindathomas6116]

Now, that I am a Grandmother, l no longer make Marshmallows... I make “Nanny-Mellows”. They were officially renamed by my eldest Grandchild back in 2008 when he was six. I have tinted my Mellows, used all kinds of extracts... l have even cut them with metal cookie cutters. It’s not easy cutting out Star shaped Mellows! 🤦🏻‍♀️ l also love to dip them in Dark Chocolate. (It’s easier if you only dip 2/3 of your Mellow into the chocolate.) I’ve been “Binge” watching your videos for a couple of hours now and you had me in stitches with this one. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! ♥️

[@stormyeffects4795]

I love that you talk about substitutions

[@katiepayton2860]

Favorite video to watch how to make marshmallows. Really good recipe, although I definitely don’t like the honey flavor in marshmallows so I just use the corn syrup. Haven’t tried fresh vanilla bean, but at some point I’ll try that.

[@janetraona9071]

This is the first time you appeared in my feed. I’m glad you did. It was a great video to watch and I did subscribe to your channel.

I have made homemade marshmallows for years now. My recipe came from an old "Farm Journal" cookbook. There is no comparison to store bought marshmallows. I rolled mine in toasted coconut. Much better than the ones in the stores. Hope you all try them.

Marshmallow was originally made in Ancient Egypt from the root of the Mallow plant that grows in the Marshes along the Nile River, mixed with honey. The Mallow plant is closely related to Hibiscus and Okra.

[@lauracarnes9732]

If you have the old school flat cookie sheets that are just one thin piece of metal bent up at the end, you can use that to cut the marshmallow. If you put a thin coat of veg oil, the marsh won't stick so much.

[@For.Your_Info]

Great job on your recipe video! Can you please make a healthy version using maybe coconut oil to coat the pan,, coconut sugar vs the regular granulated sugarr and agave vs corn syrup? Tysm

So I made a batch of your marshmallows and this is only my second time making them. The first ones I made (different recipe) turned out good. I used corn syrup and honey in that batch. This time I used your recipe and only used corn syrup along with one tablespoon of a strawberry emulsion for flavor and they turned out very rubbery and not fluffy at all. Any ideas what I did wrong? Would appreciate your knowledgeable response. Thank you

Did you omit the honey and replace it with corn syrup or just not use honey? Make sure you’re not over cooking the sugar
