What it is
These are soft, fluffy, and sweet confections made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. They have a light, airy texture and a distinct vanilla flavor. Marshmallows are a popular treat enjoyed on their own and are often used in various dessert preparations. Their unique ability to expand and become gooey when heated makes them a versatile ingredient in baking and cooking.
How people cook with it
Marshmallows are a beloved ingredient for adding sweetness and texture to a wide range of dishes.
- Toasting over a campfire
- Adding to hot chocolate
- Baking into cookies
- Creating rice cereal treats
Marshmallows can be enjoyed straight from the bag as a sweet snack. For a classic experience, toast them over an open flame until golden brown and slightly melted. They are also a key component in making no-bake treats like rice cereal bars, where they melt to bind the ingredients together. When baking, they can be added to cookies, brownies, or pies for a chewy, sweet surprise. Melting them into hot beverages like cocoa adds a creamy, delightful finish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other candies, marshmallows have a unique airy and spongy texture due to the incorporation of air during their manufacturing process. Their ability to melt and become sticky when heated is also a distinguishing characteristic, setting them apart from hard candies or gummies.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a sweet treat or a versatile baking ingredient will find these marshmallows useful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their soft texture, store any unused marshmallows in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause them to become hard and dry. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture.
