cookingismagic: cooking-confessions: Marshmallow Fondant Ingredients:  Marshmallows- big marshmallows or mini ones Icing sugar- Used to make the dough, so have a whole bag on hand just in case Food coloring Flavoring oil- Optional, just for flavoring, otherwise fondant will just be sweet.  Directions:  Take a couple of handfuls of marshmallows and put them in a microwave safe bowl. Add a couple of drops of water and toss the marshmallows in it until they are all a bit damp.  **If you are going to just make one color then put the whole bag of marshmallows in the bowl and add a couple of teaspoons of water.  **If you’re going to put flavoring oil in, add it now and add less water **If making smaller batches its easier to add the color to the melted marshmallow than it is to work the color into the fondant later. Stick the marshmallows in the microwave for ten seconds at a time until the are puffed up and easily stir into a goo with a wooden spoon. Tip: Grease your spoon with butter, things can get a bit sticky. Add food coloring  to the melted marshmallows until you get the color you want. Remember that you’re going to be adding icing sugar which will lighten the color so make it a bit brighter than you need. Start folding icing sugar into the marshmallow goo until it becomes a soft and fluffy dough.  Grease your hands with a bit of butter and turn the marshmallow out onto a table sprinkled with icing sugar. Continue to knead in icing sugar until the fondant is stiff enough to roll out. **If you add too little icing sugar the fondant will be very sticky- Just add more icing sugar **If you add too much icing sugar the fondant will be very stiff and hard to roll out - knead in a little bit of butter You’re done! *screaming*
