Ingredients

  • Gosh it is so easy. It is 3 ingredients!
  • 5 oz of mini marshmallows
  • 2-3 tablespoon of water
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  •  
  •  
  • Place your marshmallows in a microwavable safe bowl.
  • Cover them in water.
  • You are going to microwave the marshmallows in 30 second increments for 3 minutes. After each 30 seconds you will stir them. By the 3 minute mark, there should be no lumps!
  • Sift your powdered sugar into the bowl 1 cup at a time. This way you can make sure it is not lumpy.
  • Once all of the powdered sugar has been sifted, begin to mix with your hands. I advise using a grease on your hands so that you can avoid the mostly unavoidable stickiness.
  • Once it is coming together, put it out on your counter and mix until it is a taffy like consistency. If it is too stiff, add a bit more water. If it is too soft, add some powdered sugar.
  • You add your food coloring to it and begin to work it in until it is the desired color you want.
  • You can then shape it into whatever you like!
