If you’d rather skip the work, you can purchase dehydrated marshmallows in bulk, but you’d want to repackage them for long-term storage. My son used to get this canister version for Christmas every year. Skip to the 11:54 mark if you want to jump straight to the powdering phrase.

Some of them may actually pillow up a little like these peppermint marshmallows do. They stay a little soft while they’re still warm.Īlso, understand that marshmallows don’t shrink the way other dehydrated foods do. If you find a little area that still looks raw, dry them more.īut first, before you test, allow them to come to room temperature before testing.

Partly because it had been raining all day, and partly because I wanted them SUPER dry for doing the powdering.

I actually kept this latest batch in for over 24 hrs. The longer they stay on the trays, you can be assured they are fully dried. However, know that you just can’t ever dry them too long. *NOTE: for large shaped or highly colored marshmallows, dropping them temperature down to 125F/35C may help stop some of the puffing that happens with things like Peeps marshmallows or the fancier marshmallows (see below)

One option, of course, is to make your own DIY cocoa mix that’s really tasty, and to vacuum seal your marshmallows so that they stay fresher, longer. Who doesn’t love a big steaming mug of hot cocoa? Especially if it’s been made with cream or milk, and a huge mountain of marshmallows or whipped cream? If we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it up big, right? Calories be damned!īut how often have you been disappointed to go into your pantry and all you find are little envelopes of some cheap cocoa mix and a half bag of dried up, gummy, sticky marshmallows that are just sad? We have to fix that!
