Homemade Vanilla Bean Agave Marshmallows


What can be better than warming up to a hot cup of cocoa on a chilly night topped with homemade marshmallows cut out in the shape of a snowflake!


Making homemade marshmallows from scratch with agave has been on my list of things to try for a very long time. I modified the Barefoot Contessa's recipe and replaced the corn syrup with agave and added some fresh vanilla bean and I just loved how these turned out! What a fun project, not very difficult to make as long as you have the right tools; a candy thermometer and a stand mixer are a must.


These are perfect to add to your hot cocoa, to make awesome homemade smores, and even turn into a really pretty hand-made gifts for the holidays!


I really loved this project! So did my older daughter who is a chocoholic and had an excellent excuse to make herself hot chocolate.

Tomorrow I plan on posting a cute idea we came up with using these marshmallows to create adorable holiday gifts, if you are crafty the possibilities are endless!


But these are just as pretty cut into squares and stored in an airtight container.


Have fun!!! You and kids will love them, they are very sweet so a little goes a long way!
