What a cute video! These two are so wonderful and creative. I’m lucky enough to live with steps of their shop. I’ve been looking for a great marshmallow recipe. I think I’ll make these right before christmas - a perfect christmas eve drink (with a little peppermint schnapps). Mmmm.

I was just debating whether I should buy or make marshmallows to use in s’mores. The homemade version in this video look so good I have been pushed in the diy direction.

Okay, now I totally want to make marshmallows! And then eat them!

oh my goodness! that is SO great! love it…

This is the cutest video! I followed a similar recipe (Alton Brown’s on FoodTV) with great results. They’re a lot easier to cut with a pizza wheel (sprayed w/nonstick spray)…. So simple, yet everyone’s amazed at homemade marshmallows!

I made marshmallows about two weeks ago, and people were amazed! This is so easy to do and they taste SOOO GOOD in the end.

where is that dress from lauren??

That IS really cute! I’ll have to try it for my little girl at home. :)

Ooo, I love this idea. I usually do rosemary butter cookies, but that idea was feeling a little snoozy this year. Maybe marshmallows instead!

that was a very nice video!! good enough to eat!

you won’t see me doing any of those for in-the-kitchen-with, though!!!

haha

this is who i am in my made up imaginary life…a cute, creative, diy master and marshmallow-maker extraordinaire. cheers lauren and derek!

THANK YOU! I hate to admit that I failed miserably at both the marshmallows and caramels from that issue. For the marshmallows now I see that I just didn’t beat them long enough. ANy suggestions for the caramels? They got so hard that I couldn’t get them out of my pan!

Thanks!

Way cute! Love the Amelie feel too!

Nice video. Great idea.

I made marshmallows a few months ago and they’re so much better than store bought! My trick for cutting (I mad a much larger batch) was a chef’s knife dipped in confectioners sugar. It worked so much better than the oil the recipe recommended.

I like the gravity defying sculpture mallow makes when it’s ready: http://tinyurl.com/2vfce3

FANTASTIC!! so cute and fun. :)

I absolutely LOVE it! What I love the most is the “visual aid” it gives us non-experienced marshmallow makers. After seeing the step-by-step process, I almost believe I can do it myself and now I want to whip up my very own batch. Thanks!!

This is the cutest thing ever!!!

so cute! i made marshmallows, hot cocoa and gingerbread for all my friends last year and it was a real hit!
i used a chef knife dipped in sugar to cut as well. Just keep all surfaces nice and sugary and things won’t get too sticky!

I love this video. I have watched it over and over…and I don’t even like marshmallows! So cute, and very well done.

oh my god! i also thought about homemade hot cocoa kits for presents, but making my own marshmallows seemed daunting! now that i see how easy it is, i’m so going to do it. thanks!

oh, and i’ve seen pretty-shaped mallows, i think you can use cookie cutters to make them.

love the video … but what I really want to know is where is that adorable red bowl with the doves from?

Great video. Love the music.

Kudos to Derek for his Marshmallow speed eating.

ooh yes such a cute video. Also it helps tht Lauren looks just like Amelie! :) super cute! xx

I love it! It’s very cute. Does anyone know where the birdie bowl is from?

they rock. i love them and am so happy you have them every wednesday!

You can dip these puppies in melted dark chocolate too, I think (never tried it)- WOW- or hey, maybe a person could make little sandwiches out of two graham crackers and a wedge of marshmallow, and dip that in chocolate??

the video was great and i love the bowl with the birdies on it! if anyone knows of a good way to make marshmallows without gelatin (vegan version), i would love to know! i have not had much success figuring it out.

this is such a great idea! i wish i could make them right now.

the birdie bowl came from urban outfitters (listed under “graphic bowls” in the kitchen & bar section of their site). it looks like they have an adorable woodgrain plate with birds on it too! and my dress (for the person who asked) is actually a shirt i got from h&m a few years ago. thanks everyone for the nice comments!

oh my goodness. the perfect afternoon activity. i just hope mine turn out!

Jess: for a vegan recipe you can replace the gelatin with Agar-Agar: http://tinyurl.com/3byhlo

I’m not sure what the substitution ratio is (if any) so you might have to do some test batches. I did find one source that said 2 tsp of powdered Agar will gel 2 cups of liquid.

HTH.

Found agar conversion info:

Last Easter I made strawberry marshmellows using essentially the same recipe, and they were yummy! So easy really, the Kitchen Aide does all the work for you. Everyone is very impressed by this.

Scissors! Brilliant! I’ve always tried to do it with a knife (or cookie cutters) and it’s a hassle.
p.s. Chopped up peppermint candies are a nice addition as well….

Agar will not work.
And real marshmallows MUST have eggwhites.

this is so cute.. I’m totally making some and giving them away for xmas! Thanks derek and lauren!

lovely, thanks for sharing!!

ieieie super amazing, love that you did a video, it looks like 20’s silent films, hurray for kitchen fun. I hope all is well in san francisco, miss you both & see you soon!!!!
the mellows look amazing, stay cool rad ones, take a moment to yourselves you deserve it!!!!

I just made these exactly according to the recipe, and they turned out great!! the only thing I would have done differently is swirled a little red/pink food coloring in there right at the end, so they would have a candy cane kind of look. I put them in pink swirly transparent bags instead. Yum!

I just made these and everyone was amazed at how good they were! Thanks so much for introducing me to ReadyMade as well…I’m hooked!

Yummy! I just made these and flavored them with coconut and maple extracts.

I have those bird bowls :) & the matching small flat plates. Love them.
