Marshmallows in Baking Ingredients

Can I bake marshmallows into recipes?

Yes, you can bake marshmallows into recipes like rice treats, cookies, and fudge. Try marshmallows in baked goods like peach cobbler, cheesecake, and brownies. A delicious treat is to bake your favorite cookies and then melt a marshmallow on top. Bake your cookies for eight minutes, then put half a marshmallow on top and bake for two more minutes. Add a dollop of chocolate frosting on top once your cookies have cooled a bit. You can also bake marshmallows on top of a sweet potato casserole, a Thanksgiving favorite.

What size marshmallows are best for s'mores?

When making s'mores, you should use medium- to large-size marshmallows. Mini marshmallows will likely melt over a fire and are not big enough to take up space on the graham cracker. Large marshmallows can overfill a s'more, while medium-sized marshmallows are usually the right size to perfect a s'more.

What are marshmallows made of?

Marshmallows typically consist of corn syrup, gelatin, sugar, and air. They can be used in recipes for baking, treat toppings, or as snacks on their own.
