This is so easy to do thanks to this recipe!. I followed everything exactly as the recipe says and it turned out perfect! I had a little trouble coaxing the marshmallow out of the dish i put it in to "dry out" even after spraying the pan heavily with pam and sprinkling a cornstarch/powdered sugar mixture on the pan. the next day i dipped them into some melted chocolate. Wow..they looked really good and tasted like they were from a candy shop. Thanks so much for sharing this.

    This was my first time making anything even remotely like this.I decided to substitute peppermint extract for vanilla.They ended up being a little too minty strong so I coated them all in Hersheys dark chocolate.Now they're awesome.This recipe is going to be fun to play with.

    I use this recipe all the time. I never buy store bought marshmallows since learning how to make them. I never wait to cut them. I use a ton of powdered sugar to loosen the mallow from the pan and cut them right away. I am eating them within an hour of making them. They are great! Drizzle them with melted chocolate and sprinkle them with crushed "Heath" candy! Great treat! I have done a ton of different things with this recipe, the possibilities are endless.

    Ooohh! Fresh marshmallows! I made these to take camping, and tested them by taking some into work. They were a hit! I added two drops of almond flavoring as well as the vanilla. I can't wait to make them again, I'm already dreaming up ways to color/flavor the next batch!
