We loved this recipe. The stickiness was an issue but well worth the time. The topping ideas are endless. This is truly a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

My family LOVED this recipe. We made some at Christmas and decorated with Christmas sprinkles and then for spring, we experimented a little and divided the batches of marshmallow in 3 and added vanilla flavoring to one, strawberry to another (with a dash of red coloring), and pineapple to the last (rolled in coconut). They turned out great.

Great recipe and very easy! I have given these for gifts so many times. The marshmallows are great tossed in powdered sugar after they are cut, gets rid of stickiness. I sometimes cover them in chocolate as well, yum!

Didn't realize how sticky they were going to be. Had sticky marshmallow all over the counter

All I can say is wow, they are delicious. I have never been a big fan of store bought marshmallows, but decided to try these because my 4 year old is. I love mine rolled in coconut.

Hurrah! I finally found something that no one else in the family has made. I now have a signature item-- it only took 50 years to find. These are simple, quick and look so good. Its February and I am still getting comments and requests for more.

These were really good. Must have put too much air in them had a hard time getting them out of the bowl, very sticky too. But everyone loved them.

These marshmallows are wonderful by themselves on in hot cocoa, we made some with just powdered sugar and they were great in the cocoa. They are fairly simple to do and because they were such a hit the first batch went very quick so we had to make a second batch to give as gifts. THANKS TOH!!!

These are so easy to make. My kids loved decorating them with sprinkles. This will be added to the annual Christmas baking list!
