I made these marshmallows today, using vanilla bean paste. I didn't even use a candy thermometer! This is the perfect way to use up 3.5 cups of sugar!!

That sounds really neat! I had fun with these, but the original "marshmallow" sounds better!

I have always wanted to try making my own marshmallows. Time to get on with it! I love the thought of marshmallows that actually melt in my hot chocolate.

You make it look so darn easy. My KA died. Very expensive to fix or replace at this point. Hoping a good fairy brings me one and leaves it on my doorstep…at least that is the current plan. BUT, you say that I can use a hand held version of this KA mixer and be successful at this? I never thought that possible, or maybe I just never thought about it b/c I had a stand KA until recently. When I am up for sweets again, I am assuming it will return sometime in 2010 but not banking on it, I will try these with this most excellent tutorial. Thank you!

well, I made these last night. my husband came home right as I was taking the beater off my mixer, so I handed it to him to put in the sink. He asked if it was ok to lick the beater, i said yes. I turn around, and he's got marshmallow all through his beard and on his face, and has pure childhood type bliss all over his face.
He then proceeded to nag me all night if the marshmallows were done yet. I made him wait lol.
recipe was super easy to do. and getting ingredients all ready prior to starting the process is so worth it!

ha ha ya, I was feeling crafty so I made a presentation. Your tutorial was awesome, and totally idiot proof, so I figured i'd help out my friends and do that for them so they could enjoy homemade marshmallows.
and we will be having mimosas as well…so booze, chocolate, and food…that is perfection!

Ha! They are so good, and the recipe makes many, many marshmallows – like, 96 if you cut them 1-inch square. So, you'll have a fruitful 10 minutes. ;)

Thanks! I always assumed it would be difficult, too, but it's really cut-and-dry. Literally. If you give it a shot, let me know!
