    Do you have to grease the 8x 12 pan first so to get the marshmrllows back out of pan after setting over night?

    I made these 3 times over the holiday season, and couldn't believe how good and easy they were to make! Seriously if you have a stand mixer and a candy thermometer, they could not be easier. I gave these to my friends and everyone raved about them.

    This recipe could not be easier to make! my 4 year old daughter and I make it and have a blast doing it. It can get a bit messy.. but that is half the fun! This year we made a few batches. Couple of them with the coconut and a couple batches we used peppermint candy canes. We grinned candy canes in a grinder and viola coated the cut up marshmallows squares. They looked festive and tasted yummy! My kids even added it to their hot chocolate. Next time I will experiment using food colors to make hearts for valentines day! I strongly suggest that you follow the recipe as is and including the candy thermometer. Enjoy!

    I just got finished cutting these up and thy are absolutely delicious and so easy!!! Followed the directions exactly and they came out perfect. Soooo good and so much better than store bought marshmallows. Toasted coconut at 350 for 10 minutes. For gelatin, I used 3 of the Knox gelatin packets. I mixed the marshmallows for the full 15 minutes and they came out great. (oh and as one reviewer stated, don't worry about the terrible smell coming from the mixer ... you will not taste or smell this in your marshmallows. I used a 9x13 pyrex and sprayed the bottom with cooking spray before spreading the marshmallows. (the wet hands tip worked great!. When cutting them, I sprayed the tip of my knife with cooking spray before each row. This is my new favorite addition to my Holiday baskets. I will definitely be making these again. Thank you Ina.

    I was worried going into this, but this recipe was SO EASY! I would agree with other reviews that say it doesn't need to mix for 15 minutes. Mine was done in 10 minutes, and there was no strain on my mixer as others had mentioned, and believe me, I probably have the cheapest mixer on the market! My hubby doesn't like coconut, so I made them into S'mores with a no-bake graham cracker crust for the bottom and melted chocolate chips for the top. Oh, I would also agree that you have to work fast with them once you stop the mixture because they stiffen up quickly. I will definitely be making these again soon & adding it to my permanent collection!

    This Christmas season I was determined to try this recipe. My first batch turned out abysmal, I would mention. Don't use old Karo syrup, and make sure your sugar syrup does get up to 240 degrees. I would also use a straight sided saucee pan to make the syrup.
    I have a (rather new kitchenaid stand mixer, and I didn't have problems with the motor growning. I mixed the mixture for 12 minutes, judging by the rubber-band-ike strands of merang-ish mixture, that it was done.
    I, completely forgot the salt and vanilla.
    The BEST bit of experimenting that I did, was, that I used my Perfect Brownie Baking pan for the marshmallows to "set" in and for segmenting/cutting the marshmallows. It worked like a charm. I sprayed with baking spray (even though the pan is non-stick and the separators with baking spray (flour & oil. Also dusted the pan (but not the separators with confectioner's sugar.
    I live in Florida and it had been raining. Honestly, the humidity was NOT an issue for this process. After pressing the marshmellow into the pan (yes, I used all the mixture for the one brownie pan with damp hands (that helps immensley. After that, I pressed the separator into the pan/marshmallow.
    One hour later, the marshmallows were set, and pressed out of the segmentor with a spatula with no problems. I rolled them in powdered sugar. 18 Jumbo, creamy Marshmallows, was the result.
    I had planned to create small gifts with an envelope of hot cocoa and one of these marshmallows (maybe in a mug for my husband's office mates for the holidays. Husband (bless his heart jumped the gun and took some to work as they were. People went WILD over them, as did some of my friends.
    I will make these again and again!
