    My husband LOVES chocolate, and wanted chocolate marshmallows. I added 1 Tbsp of unsweetened cocoal to the marshmallows and also to the cornstarch mixture to dust them with at the end. Next time I'll increase it to 3 Tbsp of cocoa. They beat anything store bought by a long shot!

    These were easy to make and taste great. My grandkids love them. I did increase the vanillia to 1 tablespoon. Next time I make them I'm going to substitute a package of Jello for one of the packs of gelatin to see if I can make flavored marshmallow. I have a kitchen aid mixer and it didn't miss a beat. The grandkids couldn't wait until morning so I cut some after a couple of hours.

    Love this recipe! I have made several batches now and even used cookie cutters to cut them into heart shapes and put on sticks in candy bouquets! I also used a few drops of food coloring to make them into different holiday colors! (Can't wait for St. Patrick's Day!

    This year's holiday treat: Caramel/Marshmallow dipped in chocolate, it turned out great and looks professional! The marshmallows were perfect for this. If you don't have a stand mixer like me. I have a great tip to keep your kitchen clean when whisking: place the bowl in a large paper bag (from grocery stores/ make one cut along one side of the bag to allow your hand and mixer to reach the bowl; the paper bag prevents the marshmallow from flying out and hitting your wall!

    I made this recipe with my niece and it was a hit with my family. We sifted about a 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the marshmallow batter just after we added the vanilla and also added cocoa powder to the icing sugar / cornstarch coating for chocolate marshmellows. For coconut marshmallows, we the coated the marshmellow base with toasted coconut. This is certainly a good go to fun recipe to make - thanks Alton!

    These are really good ! I used 1 tablespoon vanilla and only dusted with powdered sugar and not the powder sugar/cornstarch mix. Ive never eaten homemade marshmallows before and I wont buy them at store anymore..No way !

    These were delicious. Don't be intimidated by all the steps, as long as you follow everything correctly it isn't difficult anwithal be worth it!!I used two and a half tablespoons of vanilla like others suggested and it was perfect. My mixer ( kitchen aid did just fine however it was quite warm by the end, i also only had to mix for 12 minutes not 13. A warning though when you add the vanilla the last minuet the mixer goes a little crazy but don't worry nothing spills or flies out. Just warning because it freaked me out. Also the marshmallows set quick so work fast when spreading them In the pan.I have never been a huge fan of eating marshmellows just by themselves but these are the best ones I have ever tasted!!! I can't stop eating them, I am going to try dipping them in chocolate next!
