I just recently started working with MMF, so I'm no expert by no means..... But... I've got mine down to a science now & it turns out everytime! I only use brand name marshmellows & they have to be fresh. I tried using a bag I had already opened, & it turned out horrible

When I need black MMF, I add cocoa powder 1st to make it chocolate & it helps not to use so much of the black coloring. I also use my dough hook on my mixer to give my hands a rest

Just "lube" the bowl and the hook with crisco 1st... Hope this helps
