Christmas is just the best time of year for getting creative in the kitchen and these Christmas marshmallow pops are always a hit. To make sure you get a smooth surface, use a small spatula and rotate the marshmallow as you smooth it. Use two marshmallows - one for the face and one for the body and use edible pens to draw on the details.

And after cutting them in regular(ish) pieces, the sides are dunked into the sweet and spicy mix, as well.If you're using sheet gelatine, soak it in a bowl with 1 1/2 cups of cold water for 10 minutes, then transfer it to the bowl of the stand mixer with 1/3 cup of the soaking water. You are advised to always read the product label for ingredients, nutrition, dietary claims and allergens. Tip: It is easier to either lay it down or hold it horizontal until the chocolate cools and dries a little, otherwise the eyes and nose can start to slip!

If you really need something to be with you for a set date, we strongly recommend that you schedule it to arrive at least 1-2 days early. 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. We have a wide range of festive pick and mix options, perfect for creating Christmas gift jars and boxes. If these homemade gingerbread marshmallows aren’t enough to get you into the holiday mood, I don’t know what is. Glucose-fructose syrup, sugar, water, pork gelatine, starch, flavouring, colours (E100, E162, Spirulina extract).but after seeing these and hearing about all the amazing ways you can flavor them, i’m going to have to try them out again (: and i bet these would be super impressive for a gift with a side of homemade hot chocolate mix! Step 3: At the end of the whipping process for the marshmallow mixture we added food coloring to tint the marshmallows. Follow the packet instructions, but usually this involves heating in the microwave at 50% for 30-second intervals. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
