Marshmallow fondant. Yep, made from marshmallows and gives off a wonderful marshmallow flavor. Of course, if you don't like marshmallows then you're still out of luck, but most people do! Recipe: 1 bag (NAME BRAND! No cheaping out) MINI marshmallows 2 lbs 10x sifted powdered sugar, and sifted some more. Needs to be fine fine fine! 2 tbs of water Crisco Lather your work surface in crisco and separate your powdered sugar into two bowls, 1lb in each. Cook the marshamallows in large bowl with water in the microwave. Cook in 30 sec intervals until all lumps are gone, stirring after each 30 secs. About 2 mins worth. Dump one bowl of powdered sugar into melted marshmallows. Dump onto greased work surface. Grease your hands (you'll thank me later, great spa treatment) And start kneeding. After a few moments dump HALF of the remaining powdered sugar on top and kneed some more. About 10 mins of kneeding you should start seeing the "fondant" take over. Slowly and cautiously add the rest of the powdered sugar. Be sure to stop if it becomes too stiff, you can always add more, but never take away. Once your happy with your texture wrap in plastic wrap to store until ready to color or use. I usually give it about 30 mins of down time after mixing it to set. Enjoy!
