So, I've been getting this question asked a lot lately, "How do you make Marshmallow Fondant?" So I'm going to give you lovely people my recipe on how to make this yummy sugar treat that looks amazing on cakes and cupcakes!
*Note: Just know that this is a great arm workout! =D
Read everything first before making this!
Ingredients:
1) 1 bag of Mini Marshmallow (1lb (16oz) 453g)
2) 1 lb of Powdered Sugar
3) Crisco
4) Vanilla Extract*
5) Gel Food Coloring
*Clear extract is great for making white fondant.
Materials Needed:
1) A big bowl that is microwaveable
2) Rubber Spatula
3) Biggest size Mixing Bowl
4) 2 big Zip Blog Bag.
5) A container with a lid to put the fondant away.
Directions:
1) In the biggest mixing bowl you can find, grease up the bowl with Crisco, making sure to cover every spot, then put the powdered sugar and make a well in the middle.
2) In the microwavable bowl, cover the bowl with Crisco. This is to prevent from the marshmallow sticking.
3) Put the mini marshmallow in the microwavable bowl, as well for the any food coloring you plan to use, 3 tbsp of Crisco, and the extract. Put a little bit of food coloring at a time until you find the correct color you wish to work with. If making white fondant use CLEAR EXTRACT, as the regular extract will leave a brownish color to the finish.
4) Microwave in 30 seconds increments. After every 30 seconds mix the marshmallows with a greased up spatula. Continue until all the mini marshmallows have melted. During the time you are mixing the marshmallow its also a great time to add more color if you still haven't gotten the color you want. This just saves you time later on. Or you can just use the white fondant and knead the color in.
5) After all the mini marshmallows have melted, pour the melted marshmallow into the mixing bowl that has the powered sugar. Use the rubber spatula to pour whatever is left in the microwave bowl.
6) Use the spatula to cover the marshmallow with powered sugar. Keep using the spatula to help you from using your hands and getting them all sticky with marshmallow. If you must use your hands make sure to cover your hands with Crisco.
7) Keep kneading the powered sugar into the marshmallow. The texture should be nice and smooth like play-doh. If it's still sticky put more powered sugar. If it's to dry put more Crisco.
8) Once the kneading is done, put the fondant in the plastic zip blog bag. Double bag it to prevent any air entering the bags. Then put the fondant into a tight container to store away.
Don't put in the fridge or freezer!
You can use this right away if you must use it.
This should last you up for a week.
I hope my instructions are as clear as possible. Have fun making this and by the end of making it you should have better looking arms (lol!)

I've been shying away from marshmallow fondant thinking it's hard to make only to realize (after reading your post) that it's just easy peasy. Thanks for the post.
