Marshmallow Fondant

      I just tried this recipe today and it turned out fantastic! It was my first try at fondant ever and it was very successful. A few recommendations...grease everything that the melted marshmallows will be coming in contact with. Including your stirring equipment and mixing bowl. It was very sticky and hard to work with, but would be easier with greasy equipment.

                                                                      Ingredients:
                                                     16 oz. bag of mini marshmallows
                                                                     3 tbsp water
                                                             2 lbs. powdered sugar
                                                                       Crisco

Grease a large (microwavable) bowl with Crisco.
Pour the marshmallows and water into the greased bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the marshmallows completely melt.
Reserve 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
Place the of the powdered sugar into a standing mixer. Grease the paddle attachment with Crisco.
Pour melted marshmallows onto the powdered sugar.
Beat until dough forms. There's going to be lots of loose bits of powdered sugar in the bottom of the bowl.
Grease a clean work surface with Crisco and dump out the fondant and all the loose bits you couldn't get to stir in. Grease hands with Crisco and knead the mixture together for about five minutes until smooth.
Grease hands as needed, as the fondant becomes smoother, use the reserved powdered sugar to coat the surface to keep it from sticking.
Once smooth, you can divide and color the fondant. While working with one piece, cover the remaining fondant to keep it from drying.
When the colors are finished, or you just kept it white, coat the fondant with Crisco - I did mine in powdered sugar-and wrap it in plastic wrap.

                                                          Keeps for several months.

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks for stopping by.
