COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1When melting for recipes like crispy rice treats, use low heat and stir constantly to avoid scorching the sugar.
2To prevent sticking when cutting, lightly coat scissors or a knife with cooking spray or dust with powdered sugar.
3Excellent for toasting over a campfire for s'mores or broiling briefly in an oven to create a caramelized topping for desserts.
4Dissolve in hot chocolate or coffee for a sweet, frothy topping.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed, airtight container or bag to prevent them from becoming hard or sticky.
For long-term storage, freeze in an airtight bag for up to 3-4 months. Thaw at room temperature before using.
If marshmallows have hardened, place a slice of bread in the bag for a day to help restore moisture and softness.

Are mini marshmallows vegan?

Most traditional mini marshmallows are not vegan because they contain gelatin, which is an animal-derived protein. However, some brands offer vegan versions made with plant-based gelling agents like agar-agar or carrageenan, so always check the label.

How long do mini marshmallows typically last?
