Did you boil the sugar too long?

I attempted to make these today but it was a disaster. Hardened sugar was everywhere, the marshmallow creme was too thick to pour into the pan. I think I will try a different method. I followed your instructions perfectly but my sugar started to cool too fast when I poured it into my glass bowl. I did find tapioca starch at our natural food store and Trader Joes carries Organic Powdered Sugar. I have a daughter that is allergic to all corn products and loves marshmallows.

I just added a smidgen of juice from blueberry jam and a couple teaspoons of blueberry liqueur to a grown-up batch. Very yum!

We found that the marshmallows didn’t feel as fluffy after a week. I think they were still edible, just not as mallow-y.

It says the marshmallows will last up to a week…does that mean after a week they go bad?

You can find some powdered sugars that are made with Tapioca Starch. I have found some at Ralphs and Albertsons. My son is allergic to corn and Marshmallows are his favorite. I look forward to making these soon for him.

Just an FYI… for those with corn allergies, powdered sugar is out of the question since it is mostly corn starch.

These turned out GREAT! I tried them with the agave first, but mine had a slightly “burnt” taste to them. The second time I used strictly sugar & they tasted fantastic. (perhaps agave doesn’t like to be heated as high as sugar?)

Tip: once I dumped the pan out onto a powdered cutting board, I used a pizza cutter to cut them into marshmallow-size cubes! Worked like a charm!!

Thanks for posting!
