Homemade Sprinkle Marshmallows – easy homemade marshmallow recipe. Only 6 ingredients and so fun for s’mores or hot chocolate!

Okay, so this isn’t technically s’mores but how fun are s’mores made with sprinkle marshmallows?!

I’m obsessed.

But first, we haven’t talked Olympics.

Are you into it?

I really only care about the opening ceremony and gymnastics.

I was such a mess during the opening ceremony. I happy cried through most of it and I can’t even explain it. Every time they introduced a new country, I squealed, “Aww!” and started crying.

My kids left the room after the first 2 countries. No idea why.

Anyway.

Sprinkle marshmallows!

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.

I would also like to suggest you make these marshmallows and use them to make Raspberry White Chocolate S’mores.

How to Make Homemade Marshmallows

Have you made marshmallows before? They’re really not that difficult but they do require a lot of patience.

Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over water and set aside to soften
In a saucepain, heat remaining water and sugar over low heat until sugar is dissolved
Let bubble until the mixture reaches 250F on a candy thermometer
Remove from heat and whisk in gelatin mixture
Use a stand mixer to beat egg white to stiff peaks
Slowly stream the hot syrup into the beaten egg white and beat until mixture is thick and has tripled in size
Fold in vanilla and half the sprinkles
Pour mixture into a rimmed baking sheet dusted with powdered sugar
Sprinkle remaining marshmallows over top

And then you have to let them set overnight before you can cut into them into squares and toast them over your stove.

I mean, your campfire.

Whatever.

Don’t judge me.

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.

Nicole made S’mores Crack!

Yeeeeeess, like the saltine version that everyone makes at Christmas! I’m so excited to make this soon!
