Our problem is one of the kiddos is allergic to corn and it’s derivatives and it makes shopping for some treats super-challenging. So, I have this recipe for corn syrup free marshmallows that taste amazing!
In the past, we’ve found some at the the health food store made from fish gelatin,but there was something about it that always kind of grossed me out!One of our annual traditions on the weekend before school starts is we have a bonfire and make s’mores in our backyard. It’s a nice tradition that I think really helps usher in the new academic year.
So in all of my searching, I finally found a recipe for home-made corn-free marshmallows and tweaked it to fit what we like. I thought I would share them here with you!
My mouth is watering already. I do want to mention before we start that since we are working with molten hot sugar to take extra precautions when cooking. Just take that extra safety step when making them!

August 20, 2013 at 5:22 pmThis is the recipe we use and I must say I LOVE it! We have started adding new flavors and are about to try out a new combination… using some syrups we picked up at Ikea that contain no corn syrup. 🙂 wish us luck!

August 29, 2014 at 1:18 pmWe make our own. Just take regular sugar and blend it into a fine powder. We use a bullet blender, but I’m sure any would work.

March 23, 2015 at 1:49 pmI found it at my local King Soopers (Kroger chain of stores). But its only been around for a short time!!
I tried to do the blender with regular sugar and added cream of tartar, but it was still gritty.

October 1, 2013 at 7:40 pmYou can make your own confectioner’s sugar from white or organic sugar. Put 1 cup sugar in your blender and blend at high speed for about 45 – 60 seconds. Don’t try to make more than that at a time! We use a Vita-Mix and even that works best with no more than 1 cup sugar.

November 26, 2013 at 6:14 pmYes, my daughter is allergic to corn. We use Wholefood’s 360 brand confectioner’s sugar. I keep about 4 bags on hand at all times! After making my own, this is much more convenient: ) Trying these marshmallows tonight, thanks!

January 26, 2014 at 4:20 pmDid anyone else have trouble cutting them? Getting them out of the pan? Mime were sticky as sticky could be and the shape was not quite right. They tasted great, but seem very difficult to cut and remove…?
