These were delicious! They tasted the best the first day they were made. Of course, my body, my kitchen, and my mixer were coated in the stickiest marshmallowy mess ever. Completely worth it!! Tip for cutting: Dump marshmallows onto cutting board. Spray a sharp knife with pam and then dip in powdered sugar before each cut. Thanks for the recipe.

    WHOO HOO!!! We have liftoff! These are goo-ood! I think the best part is that you can cut them the same size as your graham cracker. I like the almond extract suggestion. I think I'll try that next time.

    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!
