These mint snowman marshmallows are so incredibly festive and cute; they never fail to get me into the holiday mood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think snowman marshmallows might be my favorite ever marshmallows. Especially if they\u2019re mint flavored and homemade.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never had homemade marshmallows and you\u2019re a fan of marshmallows in general, you need to make marshmallows from scratch. They\u2019re like a whole other species: super soft, fluffy and plush. They just melt in your mouth. Honestly, I think clouds probably taste like super puffy marshmallows.<\/p>\n

Homemade marshmallows probably seem a bit intimidating, but they\u2019re actually pretty simple. The only caveat is that you need a stand mixer because the marshmallow mixture is whipped for over 20 minutes and it gets super thick and fluffy which will basically make your arm fall off if you try to do it by hand.<\/p>\n

How to make homemade marshmallows<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prep your pan.<\/strong> Butter and use powdered sugar to lightly dust a pan or glass baking dish.<\/li>\n
  2. Bloom the gelatin.<\/strong> Add the gelatin to some cold water in the bowl of your stand mixer and let sit\/bloom.<\/li>\n
  3. Heat up sugar, corn syrup, and water to 240\u00b0-245\u00b0F<\/strong>, the firm ball candy stage. If you have a candy thermometer, clip it into your pan, making sure the bulb isn\u2019t touching the base, otherwise it\u2019ll get a false reading.<\/li>\n
  4. Slowly add the hot sugar to the gelatin<\/strong> in the bowl of the stand mixer. Then whip until fluffy and marshmallow-y.<\/li>\n
  5. After you have marshmallow fluff<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to spread it in the pan and let it cure until firm.<\/li>\n
  6. After that, you can cut it out and decorate it.<\/strong> You did it, you made marshmallows!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
