Easy to make marshmallow eggs

How to make super easy marshmallow eggs

These marshmallow eggs have been a tradition to make for several years.  The best part is they are super simple to make and only takes 1/2 hour to make.  You can also dip them in chocolate to have chocolate marshmallow eggs.  

Ingredients:

2 packets of Knox Unflavored Gelletin

6 Tbsp Cold Water

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 cup sugar

Food coloring (optional)

1 tsp flavoring (optional) 

Flour

Step 1:

First you'll take (2) 9x13 pans and fill with flour.  Enough that a plastic egg can make a imprint half it's height.   Take your plastic egg and press into the flour, making a imprint for the marshmallow mixture to form in.  Place the pans aside ready to pour into.

 

 Step 2:

In a small bowl mix 2 packets of Know gelatin and 6 Tbsp cold water.  Set aside.

 Step 3:

Mix 1/2 cup water and 1 1/2 cup sugar.  Bring to a boil to make a syrup mixture and remove from heat.  Mix syrup mix and gelatin.  Mix well.  Add food coloring and 1 tsp flavoring. (we used orange)

 Step 4:

Using a mixer, beat the mixture for 10-15 minutes till is fluffy and lightens in color.  (The picture above is what the finished product looks like before you pour into molds. )

Step 5:

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour into flour mold. 

 Step 6:

Sprinkle some flour over the top of the marshmallows to prevent them from being sticky.  Let cool 1 hour.  Once they have cooled dip them out of the flour and brush off the flour.  

They are yummy to eat just like this, but you may also dip them in dipping chocolate for a fancier treat.  This recipe makes 36 eggs.
