In reply to Andrea. I'm glad you enjoyed them, Andrea! You don't need to dust the crisco in the pan. You will dust the tops of the marshmallows with a little bit and then again once cooled. :)

Hi!
Thanks for the recipe!
Just wanted to let you know that I don’t think it ever says in the recipe to coat the pan with the dusting mix? It says to use the shortening, but not to put the dusting mix after. I did anyways, but wanted to let you know.

Thanks again!!

In reply to Gina. Hi Gina! Honestly I personally think gelatin just has a bad/unpleasant smell, especially once heated. My sister thinks the same thing, but I've had other people tell me I'm crazy and they can't smell it. I don't enjoy the smell when I'm cooking it at all, but once I proceed with the recipe and finish it up, the smell disappears and the marshmallows are delicious. I wonder if you just don't enjoy the smell of it either.

Hi Sam, not sure what I did wrong, it was fine until I added the syrup to the gelatin and then it began to smell bad and taste similar to the smell. Clueless as to why. The Gelatin package was new and had not expired the bowl was clean, the syrup did not burn. I’ll try again but any advice would be welcome.

In reply to Anneke. Hi Anneke! I use the powdered gelatin here. I think the sheets will work as long as the amount is the same. :)

Hi Sam,
I have a question about the gelatine, is this powderd or sheets of gelatine.
In the netherlands it is more common to use the sheets.

I want to give this recipe a try. It looks amazing. Thank you.

Kind regards Anneke

Your marshmallows look fantastic, deary! Who would want a store-bought one after seeing these? I haven’t even tasted them but even I can tell they’re amazing! <3

In reply to Ben Maclain. If you try it out, let me know how you like it, Ben! And yes, I have to agree the white chocolate addition was perfection :)

I’ve been planning of making Christmas peppermint marshmallows, but I’m so happy I haven’t done that. Because that’s one whole fabulous recipe (and gift). White Chocolate is such an excellent addition. Well done, Sam!

Store bought marshmallows don’t hold a candle to homemade marshmallows. Like you I used to be intimidated by them. . .but they really are super easy to make. And look how lovely they look. When is the last time you have seen a red and white swirled marshmallow that looks this divine at the grocery store?
