Making Marshmallows

It’s time to get slightly sticky all in the gain of yummy homemade treats.  Making marshmallows is relatively easy and you will find 7 great homemade recipes below including a vegan and paleo marshmallow recipe. 

Low Carb Marshmallow

If you are choosing to avoid corn syrup the paleo or maple marshmallow are a great choice.  But note they are still sweet if you are assessing dietary restrictions. 

Flavored Marshmallows

As with most candies, chocolates and pastries marshmallows can be flavored in a variety of ways and flavors.  Adding peppermint extract to peppermint marshmallows has to be one of my favorites.  Coating fresh marshmallows in toasted coconut is a close runner up or dipping your marshmallows in melted chocolate.  Your options are endless. 

Marshmallows From Scratch

Anything homemade is amazing and any food is better when shared.  Scratch cooking is the way to go and this includes sweets and treats like marshmallows.
