Mini Marshmallows Or Marshmallow Fluff In Mmf???
Decorating By nathanikka Updated 7 Jul 2006 , 7:28pm by llbean
I was looking into making some marshmallow fondant, and in the recipe section, there are 2 recipes that have 4+ stars... and I wanted to get some opinions on which you think is better and why, if you would. I was looking at the easy marshmallow fondant with the marshmallow fluff or the MMF marshmallow fondant recipe that calls for mini mrashmallows. Can anyone tell me which they have used, if not both, and if you have a preference on either one. Please also let me know if one is easier to work with, taste, etc.
Thank you!
I've tried both recipes, and the one with the mini marshmallows gave me better results. I think that the liquidish form of the marshmallow fluff kind of throws of the balance of moisture and dryness in the recipe. I would recommend the mini marshmallow recipe from my experience. HTH

I would imagine that mini marshmallows might melt more easily...but I could be mistaken.
I LOVE the mini marsh recipe (have not tried the other) One word of caution - use equal parts sugar and mm (mm come in bags of 10 oz, recipe calls for 16 oz - makes a HUGE difference in the outcome!)
Enjoy!!
Be sure to coat your bowls with crisco helps a lot! I mix mine with my KA--it's a pro though-- I've used the MMF right away when I needed to and I've stored it (nuke a short 15 sec) and both work great. I spray a TINY amount of cooking spray on my rolling surface (often right on my table for large cakes) and it works awesome. I lightly cover my rolling pin w/ powdered sugar--- hope any of that will help you. if it's too sticky--add a little sugar. if it's cracking/too dry a teeny water or teeny crisco (TINY amount--like i'll wash and DRY my hands and the moisture still on my hands to knead it is enough usually). Love the fondant smoother tool too.
