This is a great recipe! I was a little afraid but curious, its not at all like the Easter Peeps, It's a wonderful treat. I have made it several time, I don't put on the coconut until later, after the marshmallow has dried I cut it into strips and then squares, I use a wooden pick to dip them in chocolate, then I sprinkle on the toasted coconut, but you must chop it. It's always a hit and people are always amazed that I made marshmallows. wonderful recipe, a lot of fun to make and a lot of fun once you get the reactions.

What a fun recipe! I had never thought of making homemade marshmallows until I saw Ina do it on TV. My grandkids love them! 2 tips- as someone else said earlier- use good vanilla. The flavor definitely comes through so don't use the funky stuff. Also, be sure to sift the powdered sugar that you rest the mixture on. Clumpy powdered sugar will not scrape off once it sets- I learned from experience! For the litte ones at Christmas I made a batch of plain marshmallows and cut them into 2" squares, then put them on popsicle sticks, dipped them halfway into melted chocolate, then colored sprinkles, allowed them to set until hardened and bagged them individually with pretty ribbons. The kids loved having special treats just for them. Very fun recipe! We used the remaining marshmallows in hot chocolate. Yummy!

Ha! I had the same question when it came to adding the gelatin. When I opened the box and saw four envelopes, I thought, "Uh oh." I actually ended up using 4 envelopes because I had a hard time getting the batter to thicken up. I was sceptical that they would turn out, but they turned out great. People were very impressed that I had "made" marshmallows.

I made these this time last year, but I can't remember. Where the recipe calls for 3 packages gelatin, does it mean three envelopes or three boxes?

These were very good. As some other reviewers mentioned, the marshmallow batter had an odd smell, but that went away by the time I cut them. I used a hand-held mixer and it took no more than 8 minutes (I stopped when the marshmallow batter was thick and coming up around the sides of the mixer. They were surprisingly easy to make.

Very good even mid-process. I'm quite excited to try them once they're dry. Be sure not to make them while others are watching TV because you will get yelled at. Mixing on high speed for 15 minutes is not very nice. Oops.

The best homemade marshmallow recipe ever! Leave the coconut off of some and use them in hot cocoa. Your mouth will thank you!

the texture of this marshmallow is ridiculously good, but to all who attempt to make this, be sure to use good vanilla. i'll admit, i cheap out and get the publix brand vanilla extract. in cakes and cookies, you really can't tell the differece, but vanilla is the main flavor here, so now my marshmallows taste cheap. spend the extra bucks and get the good vanilla!!!!!!!

Love this recipe. Made them again today for my kids Fall Festival partys at school. They always request them. People are always amazed that I made "homemade" marshmallows. We have dipped them in chocolate and then rolled them in lightly crushed graham crakers. They are also great for chocolate fountains.
My trick to getting them out of the pan is to lightly dab some butter on the bottom and sides of the pan and then line the pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non stick spray. When ready, turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board dusted with powdered sugar and peel of the paper. Cut it with at pizza cutter dipped in powdered sugar.
