had lots of fun with this! Tried 2 batches, one with coconut extract, rolled in toasted coconut (the best by far!) and one with 1/2 coconut extract, 1/2 orange, which tasted like those gummy orange slices. They were a huge hit with the fam. My only problem was that they seemed to crystalize after a few days. I think I might try reducing the sugar a bit next time, and adding 1 T. corn syrup. Rolling them in corn starch is the only thing that keeps them from sticking. Will be making lots more of these in the future! -
well i didnt think this recipe was going to turn out very well, and i was half right. I didnt have quite enough gelatin so i halved the recipe but other than that followed the instructions exactly. however, i tried using them for rice krispies and it totally didnt keep them stuck together- it just coated them with what looked like melted marshmellow. Before i used it, the marshmellows looked pretty nice though,but i wouldnt recommend using them for rice krispies because it doesnt hold together at all. -
These were REALLY SUPER YUMMY! I mad mashmallows fo the fist time a little while a go, but these were way bette! Pluse, I added a little bit of chocolate extract! Yummy! Oh, I also used a pastry bag to squirt them out into cute little marshmallows:) They looked very awesome:) Next time I think I'll use some almond extract or oange... mabe even pepermint:) Thanks for the recipe! P.S. Using a pastry bag it made around 220 jumbo sized mallows!
