Christmas Homemade Marshmallows

These Christmas Homemade Marshmallows are light and fluffy and better than store-bought. These colorful Homemade Marshmallows are perfect for the Holiday season and we have all the directions you’ll need to make them perfectly every time.

We learned how to make marshmallows from scratch. They are fluffy and sweet and delicious and we want you to learn how to make them too.  These Christmas Homemade Marshmallows are pretty and fantastic and boy are they going to taste great in our Holiday Hot Chocolates or Hot Vanilla Milk or on their own as a special Christmas-themed snack.  Light and fluffy and a thousand times better than store-bought.  So grab the gelatin and meet us in the kitchen.  You won’t be sorry!

How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture

Step 1: To make our pretty and colorful Christmas Marshmallows, we used our The Best Homemade Marshmallow Recipe.  Homemade Marshmallows might seem hard to make BUT they are NOT at all.  We have all the directions you’ll need to make sweet and fluffy squares of Marshmallow-y goodness right here. We made three batches of marshmallows – one white, one green and one red and then froze them so we can use the pretty colored marshmallows throughout the holiday season.

Preparing the Pans

Step 2: While the marshmallows are mixing, prepare the pans for the marshmallow mixture.  We used square 8×8″ pans.  We lightly oiled the pan and then covered the pan with a piece of plastic wrap.  Then we lightly covered the plastic wrap in oil (or you can use baking spray.) If you do this the marshmallow block will easily come out of the pans – absolutely no sticking.

Coloring and Flavoring the Marshmallow Mixture

Step 3: At the end of the whipping process for the marshmallow mixture we added food coloring to tint the marshmallows.  We just slightly tinted the mixture Christmas green and red.  We didn’t want the marshmallows to be too saturated in color but you can add as much food coloring as you like.  If you want to flavor the marshmallows, now is the time to do it.  You could add a teaspoon of Peppermint Extract or Mint Extract or go crazy and add a dash of Molasses and Ground Ginger and create a Gingerbread flavored Marshmallow!

Assembly Instructions

Step 4: Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pans.  Cover the marshmallow blocks with another piece of plastic wrap and allow the marshmallow mixture to setup overnight at room temperature.

Step 5: Spread out a piece of parchment paper and cover it with a small amount of the Marshmallow Dust.  Turn out the marshmallow block from the pan. 
Step 6: Lightly oil a sharp knife and use it to cut the marshmallows into individual marshmallows.  
Steps 7-8: Toss the marshmallows into a bowl with the Marshmallow Dust and cover on all sides.

Storage and Serving Instructions

Step 9: Don’t forget the White Marshmallows! Store the marshmallows in an air-right container. Separate the layers with parchment paper.  The marshmallows will last 2-3 weeks at room temperature and a few months if frozen.
