We will definitely be using it when we start homeschooling this fall! If I don’t forget I’ll come back and review it then! *runs to write it down on the list of things we’ll be doing this year*

It is much easier than it sounds, and they are absolutely wonderful. Our recipe is a little different from this one (we use Alton Brown’s) but I’m sure the results are equally delicious.

I do recommend using a good stand mixer for beating the mixture, rather than a light duty hand mixer.

We cut ours with a pizza wheel, it works great. You can also use cookie cutters if you want shapes.

I played with other flavor extracts, too, besides vanilla. We used caramel extract (and dusted lightly with cinnamon), coconut extract (and rolled them in toasted coconut) and raspberry extract (sprinkled with pink sugar). Whatever extract you like you can use in place of vanilla. (can you imagine plopping a couple bourbon marshmallows into your cocoa?)

It’s definitely worth it to make your own marshmallows, kind of fun, and they make sweet home made gifts for Christmas or other special dates.
:~D
