Simple Marshmallow Fondant Recipe

Things you’ll need: 1. 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows 2. 3 tablespoons water 3. 6 cups powdered sugar 4. A tiny bit of oil to grease your hands 5. Food Gel (optional)

1. Pour the marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl. Stir in the water to evenly coat the marshmallows.
2. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this process two more times or until mixture is smooth.
3. Sift 3 cups of powdered sugar into a large bowl making a hole in the center.
4. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture into the powdered sugar.
5. Sift the remaining powdered sugar on top of the marshmallows.
6. Oil your hands to prevent the marshmallow from sticking to you. Knead in the sugar until you have the consistency of soft taffy and the fondant no longer sticks to your hands. If you are adding food gel to your fondant, add now and knead until color is fully incorporated. (coat your hands with shortening so the color doesn’t stick to them)
7. if you are not going to use your fondant right away, wrap it in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
