Where Marshmallow Come From

Marshmallows are a type of confection that is made from sugar, water and gelatin. The name “marshmallow” originally referred to a plant known as the marsh mallow (Althaea officinalis), which grows in marshy areas and has roots that were historically used to make a sweet, sticky substance.

However, modern marshmallows no longer contain marsh mallow root as an ingredient. Instead, they are primarily made by mixing sugar and water to create a syrup, which is then combined with gelatin to give the marshmallows their characteristic fluffy texture.

This mixture is whipped to incorporate air, creating the light and airy consistency of marshmallows.

Flavorings and colors can also be added to give marshmallows different tastes and appearances.

Marshmallows are commonly used in a variety of sweet treats, including s’mores, hot cocoa toppings, and as ingredients in desserts like marshmallow rice cereal treats.

They are no longer directly derived from the marsh mallow plant but have become a popular and versatile candy in their own right.

Directions:

Open Oreos and scrape the inside cream out. Crush Oreo cookies until they are a fine “dirt.” Set aside. Melt candy melts by following directions on the bag. Set aside.

Take 1 pretzel stick, dip into the candy melt, stick into the marshmallow. Continue until all marshmallows have a pretzel stick. Let sit for a minute or two to ensure the pretzels are secure for dipping. Dip marshmallows one at a time into the candy melt. Using a spoon to help coat the marshmallow all over. Hold for a moment to let excess coating chocolate drip off.

Dip the coated marshmallow into the crushed Oreo’s. Roll slightly to allow some “dirt” to get on the sides of the marshmallow as well.

If necessary dip the green Mike & Ike in the chocolate and place on the coated marshmallow. Place on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set up.
