Plus they can be changed to suit your own style, simply add flavors and colorings. Try an extract like peppermint, almond, lemon, orange.

Before you start, make sure that your saucepan is clean and dry, clean it with a small dab of white wine vinegar or lemon juice.

Keeping the correct temperatures is very important. Just a couple of degrees too hot or cool will make a difference:

If the syrup is cooked too hot, the marshmallows will set too firm and chewy and lack volume.

If the sugar isn’t cooked hot enough, the marshmallows will be mushy or soggy.
