Notes

  • Several recipes call for the “boiling sugar mixture” to get to a temperature of 242 degrees (or firm ball stage), I found the rapid boil for one minute is easier to gage and you don’t risk overheating the mixture (thus it getting too hard)
  • The flavor options are endless, you could add cocoa powder to the gelatin mix in step 2 and/or peppermint extract in step 6 for chocolate or mint chocolate marshmallows. Once you get the basic recipe down, get creative!
