I think I might be addicted to making tasty marshmallows...it is kind of fun. We started our marshmallow journey by complaining about tasteless marshmallows, of which there seem to be plenty. In spite of being labelled 'gourmet' they really all taste pretty much the same, with toppings or flowers or not. I have spent too much money of fancy schmancy marshmallows over the years with great disappointment.
SO...we whipped up the very delish Gin and Tonic Marshmallows with video to boot and voila, a very delicate but flavourful marshmallow...then don't forget Turkish Delight Marshmallows have been around for a while. There is now a Marshmallow Fluff which we are also a little obsessed with.
Now we have these! I needed marshmallow filling for the Homemade Chocolate Easter Eggs and so rather than just settle for Vanilla...(not that there is anything wrong with that, when you use the vanilla that we use!!) I decided to make these with the left overs after filling the eggs with the vanilla version. (Simply leave out the lemon oil and raspberry dust.)
Watch out, she is on a roll now...what marshmallow flavours would you like next? We have a whole range brewing...not sure we will ever stop!
