Cupcakes are my passion but I also love to create and play with different recipes and ideas, looking for something new to add to my "Treats" I came accross Home Made Marshmallows. I thought to myself that it would be such a great challenge and the end results could be amazing! So as I read on and did more reasearch I found it to be a TWO day process, something im not quite used to! After shopping and gathering all the materials, the journey to Marshmallows started.....
Corn Syrup, Candy Thermometer, Gelatin and Creativity.. Its what I needed for this new endeavor. First, I have never used a candy thermometer and was intrigued in the way it worked, (the smallest things intrigue me as you can tell) stick it in the boiling syrup and watch it rise!
After the Syrup reached the perfect Temperature, 224 degrees F, I then mixed it in for what seemed like forever till it finally started reaching the "marshmallow fluffy" consistency, at this point you can add any flavoring or any color you desire for the end result, I opted for traditional Vanilla.
It was now ready to set and wait for it to all turn into a Fluffy Marshmallow! So I set it in the pan and watched it turn into the fluffy goodness I was waiting so patiently for...Unfortunately, I had to let it sit overnight and my impatient-ness kicked in! I like things done and finished right then and there!! I checked on it at least 5 times and realized I just needed to "sleep it off"
Morning finally came and I felt like it was Christmas!! I was so excited to see what was waiting for me and I was not disappointed! Voila! Home Made Fluffly Marshmallowy Goodness....
I then made them into Pops and dipped them in White Chocolate and added Sprinkles! These are inspired by Baby Bella's upcoming 1st Birthday!!!
