Just a quick update … I made grown-up marshmallows. While whisking, I added 1/4 cup of Kahlua, a dash of vanilla, and a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. The marshmallows turned out delicious.

That sounds divine, Suzanne. Do you happen to have a recipe for that?

I saw a version that had chocolate, cinnamon, and a pinch of chipotle powder. Marshmallows from scratch are so worth it!

What a neat idea! I’ve never thought of making marshmallows myself. And I love that it wont have HFCS. I’ll definitely have to try this!

I make peppermint marshmallows every Christmas, but my recipe calls for corn syrup. Martha, I do use liquid food colouring. If I mix it in well, it doesn't affect the texture, but if I put drops in and let the pouring action make streaks, there can be a little separation in the finished product. Thanks for sharing, Julia.

putting them in valentine goodie bags is a great idea! Can you add food dye to the mix to tint them or would it ruin the texture?

I saw some recipes that also add cocoa powder for chocolate marshmallows.

A friend of mine just gave me her version of the marshmallow recipe yesterday, which is just as easy to make.

Homemade Marshmallows
2 envelopes (2tbs) unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Soften gelatin in 3/4 cup of water and set aside. Place remaining 1/2 cup water and granulated sugar in medium saucepan. Cook until soft ball stage (240 degrees F). Remove syrup from heat, add softened gleatin and stir until almost cold. Add salt and flavoring. Beat until syrup is white and thick (8 minutes with an electric mixer). Pour to 1 inch thickness in two 8 inch square pans that have been greased and dusted with powdered sugar. Let set in cool place about and hour- do not place in refrigerator. Turn out on board that has been well dusted with powdered sugar and cut into cubes (or make cool shapes).
