Homemade Sprinkle Marshmallows are vanilla flavored marshmallows with rainbow sprinkles. Only 6 ingredients and so fun for s’mores or hot chocolate!
Homemade marshmallows are one of my favorite things to make. It’s just so satisfying to turn sugar, water, gelatin, and an egg white into marshmallows.
Seriously though, what genius decided to mix all that together and create the delicious glue that holds all s’mores together?
I would like to suggest a holiday in that person’s honor.
If you are intimidated by homemade marshmallows, don’t be. They’re actually very easy, just require patience and a candy thermometer.
Ingredients
- Unflavored gelatin – you can find this with the boxes of Jello mix in the grocery store. Make sure you get the unflavored kind. You can also order it online.
- Granulated sugar
- Egg white – we’re only using the egg whites because they get whipped up and make for really light, fluffy marshmallows.
- Vanilla
- Rainbow sprinkles – you don’t have to use rainbow sprinkles but they are more fun than just one color of sprinkles.
- Butter – this is for greasing the pan to keep the marshmallows from sticking.
- Powdered sugar – this is to dust the pan to make sure the marshmallows don’t stick.
How to Make Homemade Marshmallows
- Soften gelatin. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over water and set aside to soften.
- Dissolve sugar. In a saucepan, heat remaining water and sugar over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Heat sugar syrup. Let bubble until the mixture reaches 250F on a candy thermometer.
- Add gelatin. Remove from heat and whisk in gelatin mixture.
- Beat egg white. Use an electric mixer to beat egg white to stiff peaks.
- Combine. Slowly stream the hot syrup into the beaten egg white and beat until mixture is thick and has tripled in size.
- Add. Fold in vanilla and half the sprinkles.
- Transfer. Pour mixture into a rimmed baking sheet dusted with powdered sugar.
- Top. Sprinkle remaining marshmallows over top.
- Let sit. Let them sit overnight before cutting and serve.
How Long Are Homemade Marshmallows Good For?
These marshmallows will be good for up to a week. Make sure to store them in an airtight container and they may need to be refrigerated if your house is really warm.

Homemade Sprinkle Marshmallows
Homemade Sprinkle Marshmallows are vanilla flavored marshmallows with rainbow sprinkles. Only 6 ingredients and so fun for s'mores or hot chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- ⅔ cup water, divided
- 1 ¼ cup sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
- butter and powdered sugar, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Butter a 9x13-inch pan generously and dust bottom and sides with powdered sugar.
- Put ⅓ cup water in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top; set aside to soften.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat remaining ⅓ cup water and sugar over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium and let bubble, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 250F. Be patient, it can take 10+ minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the gelatin mixture.
- Put the egg white in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk and beat to stiff peaks. Lower the mixer to low and slowly stream in the hot syrup. Beat until the mixture is thick and white and has tripled in size. Fold in vanilla and half of the sprinkles.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and use a spoon to smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining marshmallows.
- Chill overnight.
- To remove, run a knife around the sides of the pan and invert onto a powdered sugar covered cutting board. The easiest way to cut the marshmallows is with a pizza cutter. Toss them in powdered sugar after you cut them to make sure they don't stick to each other.
- Keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
