I am in love with these marshmallows, lol! I had a bit of a fight with them as I was trying to get the beaten mixture to the sheet pan, but eventually I prevailed, so all was good. I've never made marshmallows before, but these definitely put storebought marshmallows to shame! These have so much more flavor, too. I think I could've cut the cornstarch/sugar mixture in half, because I was left with quite a bit of it after the marshmallows had been dusted, cut, and dusted again. The kitchen looked like I had just tossed the bowl up in the air, but you never would've known it by looking at the leftovers in the bowl. No matter, though -- I still love these marshmallows!
