Here's what you’ll need

Using Marshmallow fluff instead of whole marshmallows

In all my testing of this recipe I found that I got the best results in both flavor and texture from using jarred marshmallow fluff instead of whole marshmallows.

This is because marshmallow fluff doesn’t have gelatin while marshmallows do. That’s how they…y’know…marshmallow.

While the whole mallows would toast up beautifully and break down relatively well in the syrup, the real issue arose when those batches of syrup would cool. Do you see where I’m going with this?

The gelatin would cause the syrup to become gelatinous and try as I might, I just couldn’t get it to work. Less marshmallows meant less toasty flavor, more water meant a weak and flavorless syrup.

Using marshmallow crème and toasting it under the broiler was the key!

Equipment

• Measuring Cups
• Small Saucepan
• Baking sheet
• Fine Mesh Sieve

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• ½ cup sugar
• 13 ounces marshmallow crème

Instructions

• Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a small saucepan combine 2 cups water with ½ cup sugar and set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved into water, about 5 minutes.
• While that cooks, spread 13 ounces (1 large jar or 2 small jars (which will be 14 ounces, but that's fine)) of marshmallow crème over the parchment paper lined baking tray. This increased surface area will provide more opportunities for toasting!
• Broil the marshmallow crème for 2 – 4 minutes, rotating tray as needed, until it is deeply toasted and golden. Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch to carefully toast the marshmallow.
• Remove marshmallow crème from oven and carefully transfer to water and sugar mixture.
• Stir to combine and return to heat, brining to a boil and then removing from heat. Steep, stirring occasionally, for 15 – 20 minutes, or until most of the crème has broken down into the simple syrup.
• Pour the marshmallow syrup through a fine mesh sieve, discarding whatever solids are left behind.
• Skim the top of the toasted marshmallow syrup to remove any foam.
• Transfer to a jar, cool to room temperature, and store until ready to use.
