have you had a homemade marshmallow? if not, please make these. not only do they far surpass those jet-puffed, bleach-white mallows in flavor…they are deceptively easy to make. plus, everyone will think you are some sort of confectionary genius. these mallows were made to impress.
listening: the wrong side of reno: rocky votolato
because that was our recessional song for our wedding and, well we live, met and went to school in reno.
Next week, I will be camping with my fam near Santa Cruz, Ca…I’m very excited. I’m bringing the mallows for some s’more action. Be excited!
Homemade Marshmallows
adapted from this recipe at epicurious.
I used organic cane sugar instead of regular white, granulated sugar. Since my husband and I have been on a quest to virtually eliminate High Fructose Corn Syrup from our diets, I used Lyle’s Golden Syrup in place of corn syrup. I have also used honey with excellent results. MMMmmm, honey scented mallows! (Can be made and stored in an airtight container for two weeks at room temperature.)
Nonstick cooking oil spray
1 cup cold water, divided
3, 1/4-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin
Oh, I loved making homemade marshamallows and the store-bought variety really just can’t compare. These are gonna make amazing s’mores!
This looks great. I have always wanted to make marshmallows but dont like corn syrup. Golden syrup seems like a great sub. Love the blog, just stumbled on to it, but will be coming back….
happy camping and those marshmallows look divine!
These marshmallows look so lovely. I’ve never attempted making them from scratch. I might just have to try it!
Your blog is always inspiring!
Love these fluffies!
I made Lavender vanilla a while ago and loved making them.
Thanks so much for posting your recipe and beautiful pictures! I just made some and they turned out great!!! 🙂
sheila, awesome! i’m so glad they turned out well!
Way better than the store bought variety! These look delicious. Hope you had a fun camping trip…I just got back from one myself.
LOVE your blog. Just came across it.
It’s sooo true! I mentioned the other day that I’ve made homemade ‘mallows and the other moms were totally awed. Needless to say I felt great and didn’t mention that homemade marshmallows weren’t some great culinary feat! 🙂

How come i didnt comment before to this?!?!?! Love your blog – you are doing all the sweets that I love but have no idea how to make: THANK YOU!!!! Love the photos too!
WOW : ) I had never really thought about making hommade mellows!! I’m gonna have to give this a try all I need is the thermometer xp annnnnd the mixer i’ve been longing for (but if I’ve made it this far without it I think I can manage) I’m so glad I came across your site!!
Are there any recipes for homemade marshmallows where gelatin is not used? or can they be made without gelatin? THANKS! xoxo
I haven’t ever made them w/o the gelatin. i haven’t seen a recipe for vegan marshmallows, but i know that they can be purchased.
