Miniature Marshmallows
Sweet, light, and mildly vanilla, with a soft chew that turns gooey when melted.
Lens analyzedMiniature marshmallows are standard marshmallows made at a fraction of the size, used where you want marshmallow melted evenly through a mixture, like rice cereal treats or hot cocoa, rather than a few large pieces. They melt faster than full-size marshmallows because of their smaller mass.
Where it comes from
Marshmallow makers scaled down the classic sugar-and-gelatin confection to fit recipes that call for even distribution, becoming a fixture in classic American treats like s'mores bars and marshmallow-topped sweet potato casseroles.
Buying it
Bags should feel soft and pillowy through the packaging, not hard or stuck together in a solid clump. Check the date if the bag looks partially deflated, which can signal age.
Storing it
Seal the bag tightly and keep it in the pantry, since exposed marshmallows dry out and turn hard surprisingly fast. A dusting of cornstarch inside the bag is normal and keeps them from sticking together.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
