December is here and Recipes Dream is on Day #5 of its second annual Holiday Baking series! Stay tuned through December for a new goodie recipe every day!
Today's recipe is a tutorial on how to make your very own homemade marshmallows. I've included instructions for three varieties... Plain, Peppermint Swirl, and Cinnamon Specked Marshmallows. The ingredient list for these are short, but it is quite a process to make them, so I recommend reading through the directions completely before starting, just so you're familiar with the steps.
Believe me, once you've had a homemade marshmallow floating in the top of your hot chocolate, it will be hard to go back to the wimpy flavorless marshmallows you buy at the store.
And in case you're looking for one more thing to dip into the chocolate fountain at your holiday party...look no further...
The ingredients:
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 cups sugar
1 Tbs. light corn syrup
4 packages (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin (I found it in the Jello section)
2 large egg whites
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
FOR PEPPERMINT SWIRLED MARSHMALLOWS
several drops red food coloring
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
OR
FOR CINNAMON SPECKED MARSHMALLOWS
1 Tbs. ground cinnamon
Directions:

Gift idea: Put these in a pretty bag tied with ribbon and give them as a gift with some hot cocoa packets! Or put them on a lollipop stick, dip into melted chocolate, allow to set and give it as a unique holiday lollipop!
