Everyone's seen those marshmallows at whole foods, right? They're fluffy, marshmallowy, and super super expensive! Well at least for just 9 pieces (or how ever much they have)! So...I made my own! Plus, I got this recipe book for confections that had a super great recipe for marshmallows.
So how did it go? .....Great! They were actually quite easy to make and super delicious. I always thought they would be super hard, you know, being a candy and all, but they actually weren't. I just made the syrup, melted gelatin, mixed them together...and.......wa lah! marshmallows!
so sorry i forgot to post the recipes, but here it is!:
