In reply to Christina. Ha ha, you’re welcome! The first time I made them I was thinking “Oh good grief, what did I just do!” Funny how something that starts out smelling so bad can end up tasting so good.

Thank you for sharing that the smell is awful! I thought I had made a mistake and was wondering if I should waste the rest of the ingredients before finishing this recipe.

We labeled the smell as “doggie breath” but it totally goes away and does not leave a flavor at all. We have poured half of the mixture in the pan and then flavored the other half orange or cherry and then pot them on top of the vanilla. It’s pretty and yummy!

In reply to Max G. I know the smell is pretty bad when you're making the marshmallows, but it should go away in the final product. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe the gelatin was expired?

Hi i have a bad smell, gelatin smell in my marshmallows. When i cut it i notice it, is that normal ? i used a 260 bloom , unflavored gelatin.

In reply to ebru. Hi Ebru! Probably not. These are really really sticky so I think once you pulled them out of the mold, they wouldn't hold their shape. Your best bet I think would be to use a cookie cutter lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Hope it works!

i like marshmallows, i am trying to find to make for my little daughter birthday some homemade ones. but i want to make them in shape of animals. i want to use silicone animal molds.
i tried at ones : melt the marsmallows and poured them into the mold, even i put some butter (to make the silicone mold oily) before poured the melted marshmallows. i could’t able to take them out. they all sticked to the mold. ha ha what a pity.

do you think your receipe work for the silicone mold?
