Make the marshmallows as directed in this recipe. Add the coloring midway through the whipping so that it disperses evenly. Once the marshmallow is set, cut out and roll in sugar.
This was my first time making homemade marshmallows. I followed the recipe as directed but they came out crinkly. The mixture set up as I was pressing it into the pans. In the future I think I will whip it a little less so that I get a smooth surface. Also, the sugar didn't stick at first so I used a barely damp pastry brush to wet the surface of the peep and that did the trick.
We woke up Easter morning to fresh snow. These guys enjoyed their frolic in the powder :)

I love making homemade marshmallows, but yours are really cute! I think yours is the first "Alaskan" Food blog I've come across. I like it so far!
Your marshmallow animals are TOO cute! I've fell in love with marshmallows too! I've made them SO many times. I finally perfected the recipe & technique back in February. Then before Easter I made homemade peeps too!! I'm just warning you, you'll get addicted and find random reasons to make marshmallows all the time!
Bob and Shane - Thanks!!
Boulley - Alaska is a big state with a small population. I am glad you have enjoyed the blog so far. Take a peak at my blog list on the right side of the page. The top two blogs are by fellow Alaskans.
