\n<\/i>I foresee lots of mugs of hot chocolate in your future. Or maybe a hot chocolate party<\/strong><\/span><\/a>? And how sad would those mugs be without a big, honking homemade marshmallow floating on top?<\/p>\n
I made you a small pan of homemade marshmallows. I spread the gooey batter in a 9 x 5-inch bread loaf pan<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. When sliced, you get 8 large marshmallows. So perfect for so many cool days ahead.<\/p>\n You don’t really have to wear flannel when making and eating marshmallows, but it does something for the flavor, I tell ya. Also, if it’s one of those perfect crisp Fall days where you need a jacket in the morning but the sun warms you plenty in the afternoon, the marshmallows will be especially delicious. Trusted facts only here.<\/p>\n Do you see the tiny black specks? They’re vanilla bean!<\/p>\n I’m moderately obsessed with vanilla beans lately. I found a spice store in my town that sells 3 for about $8, and I think that’s pretty reasonable, as far as vanilla beans go. So, I’ve been using them in everything (especially pie<\/a>!), but if you don’t have half of a vanilla bean, just use 1\/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.<\/p>\n If anything, vanilla extract can sometimes be fruitier and stronger than vanilla beans. Although, the tiny specks of vanilla bean in your marshmallow are so fun and crunchy.<\/p>\n I’ve always wanted to make homemade marshmallows, but I have been putting it off for a rainy day when I had plenty of time to make them. I assumed they were time-consuming and difficult. Honestly, I had this batch of marshmallows in the pan in 20 minutes. Yeah, they had to set for 3 hours before I could cut them and roll them in powdered sugar (the funnest part!), but seriously, homemade marshmallows couldn’t be easier.<\/p>\n Maybe it’s harder to wield a large amount of sticky marshmallow cream into a pan, but when you’re dealing with a small amount, it’s easier? I’m not sure why these were so simple to pull together.<\/p>\n All I know is my future has a lot of homemade marshmallows (small batch style) in it. And that can never be a bad thing.<\/p>\n I can’t wait to try to use these in my Smores Dip recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n![\"Homemade](\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Marshmallows-060.jpg\")
