    Boozy Marshmallows

    Are you ready to spice up the holidays just a little? Now is your chance with these Boozy Marshmallows. Whatever your tastebuds are wanting to taste with marshmallows, these will do the trick. Yes, they are alcoholic marshmallows, but they are the most delicious tiny blocks of softness that you will ever come across.

    I’m loving these Boozy Marshmallows because they are a little different. It’s amazing to create the marshmallows right in your own home because you probably already have all of the ingredients right in your own cabinets. Even if you do need to run out and grab some ingredients, they are simple and you should have no problem finding them.

    In my opinion, when the holidays roll around, it’s important to have a bunch of boozy recipes that you can rely on. Boozy Marshmallows is, of course, one of my favorites. You get to choose what you put your marshmallows in, drink wise, but I know you can’t go wrong with whatever choice you make.

    Making Your Own Version of Marshmallows

    Anytime I am craving something, I enjoy the challenge of trying to make it myself. Boozy Marshmallows can’t really be bought at the store, it’s something that needs to be made at home. Making your own version is easy, which is why I wanted to share this recipe with you!

    I believe that life is short and you need to do what makes you happy. If boozy marshmallows make you happy, then you need to go for it.

    Tips for Making Your Own Marshmallows

    As soon as you make your own marshmallows, you will understand what I mean. However, marshmallows are better than storebought. You can make marshmallows to be any size you want.

    • When you use egg whites in your marshmallows, they will be extra light and fluffy. Just keep in mind that marshmallows made with egg whites may not last as long.
    • It’s best to add flavoring to marshmallows when the mix has completely cooled down. While you can add vanilla, there are also lots of other flavoring options. Obviously, boozy marshmallows are going to have a different flavor than ones without booze.
    • When you are making marshmallows, you will need to rub everything with butter or coconut oil. This is important so that nothing gets stuck to the marshmallows.

    I hope these tips help you just a little more with making marshmallows. Once you’ve made them once, you can easily make them a thousand times.

    How Long Do Homemade Marshmallows Last?

    If you are wanting to make marshmallows but are afraid they aren’t going to last, you are wrong. As long as you store the marshmallows in an airtight container, you can easily keep marshmallows for up to three weeks. They have a surprisingly long shelflife, which is great! You won’t be making these marshmallows, just for them to go bad. You can count on them lasting at least 3 weeks.
    What Are the Most Important Ingredients in Marshmallows?
    You can’t just make marshmallows with anything, you do need certain ingredients. You will need a protein to make marshmallows. The most popular types of protein to use are albumen and gelatin. Other popular ingredients for making marshmallows include different flavors, acids, corn syrups, and even sucrose. I love knowing WHAT goes into making my own marshmallows too. Before I made my own, I truly never knew how easy it was.
