Ingredients
- 16 oz. Mini Marshmallows
- 2-5 Tbsp. Water
- 8 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir. Continue microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring well and then repeating until the marshmallows are completely melted and it is smooth. This will probably take 2-3 minutes.
- Add about 1 cup of powdered sugar to the melted marshmallows and stir well. Continue adding small amounts of powdered sugar and stirring well until you reach the point you can no longer stir.
- Cover your work surface and hands in a light dusting of powdered sugar. Turn the contents of the bowl onto the work surface and begin kneading as you work in more of the powdered sugar.
- If mixture becomes too dry and is tearing, you can add 1/2 tablespoon of water at a time. Continue kneading for about 8-10 minutes until all of the powdered sugar is incorporated and it is a smooth ball that stretches easily without tearing.
- Use immediately or roll into a ball, lightly coat with vegetable shortening and store in an airtight plastic bag until you are ready to use.
