Honey Vanilla Marshmallows Dusted in Sugar and Coconut

Kemal and I both love marshmallows, and if you’ve never made your own before, I strongly urge you to do so. First of all, they’re extremely easy to make. The hardest part of the whole process is waiting for them to harden and set up.

Secondly, it doesn’t involve an oven, so even if it’s 100 degrees outside you can have fun making dessert without heating up your kitchen. Most importantly, they taste divine!! If you like store bought marshmallows, you’re gonna fall in love with homemade ones.

There’s a huge difference in taste!

Kemal and I were both scraping the sides of our mixing bowl with our fingers so we could devour the remaining marshmallow cream on the edges of the bowl. We both had cream all over our fingers, hands, and shirts, and faces. No biggie though. Kemal washed out his shirt and then came and licked the marshmallow cream off the tip of my nose and cheeks! LOL!

It’s a lot of fun to make them, and what’s cool is that you can also cut them out into different shapes, dip them in chocolate or butterscotch, or use flavored extracts to make all kinds of different marshmallows. They also make great gifts, and there’s nothing like a cup of hot chocolate with melted marshmallows to soothe away any tensions of day.

Have lots of fun making the marshmallows, but before you get started, make sure you read the entire recipe first. There’s one part of the marshmallow-making process where you need to be a little bit cautious. You’ll be pouring hot syrup (made with honey and sugar), and if you’re not really careful, you could get splattered. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Okay, are you ready to have some fun??!!
