Notes
Store your homemade marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week. Avoiding placing them in the fridge, as this will mess up the consistency of the marshmallows.
In addition, marshmallows will not freeze well. They are best enjoyed fresh, so be sure to properly store them in an airtight container. Marshmallows should be stored in a cool, dry area away from the sun as they are sensitive to heat and can melt.
These corn syrup-free marshmallows can be used for many things such as hot chocolate, s'mores, and dipping in chocolate. They also taste great on their own or rolled in powdered sugar or even toasted coconuts. Instead of vanilla extract, you can add almond, peppermint, or orange extract.
Make sure to give the marshmallows plenty of time to set. Though it can be tempting to slice into them early, this can ruin their consistency. In some cases, it is best to let them set covered overnight to ensure the proper consistency.
