Having made them a second time, cornstarch does seem to be the way to go. Yeah, you need the real corn syrup because you need the chemical properties of the sugars in it to make the marshmallows set.

I was upset initially, because instead of cute shapes, mine were more like amorphous blobs that squashed down into puddles if left alone long enough. I fixed this by coating them in sugar and storing them in mini-muffin trays to make marshmallow-ey shapes. What made everything worth it though, was finding out that these actually toast over the campfire like normal ’shmallows! They’re a bit more tricky to roast (to avoid them blobbing into the fire), but if done right they get all light brown and bubbly! Absolutely delicious… I was so happy to have roasted marshmallow again!! Thanks!

I am having trouble with the consistency and it may be due to the fact that I used reduced calorie corn syrup. I also skipped the cornstarch and instead used the oil and sugar method, but find that it’s next to impossible to cut the marshmallows into squares and retain their shape. However, the creme was so tasty that I’ll make them again and will play with flavors and investing in a large supply of Rice Krispies Wow – that recipe makes a huge bowl of marshmallow creme.

Why didn't you just use ricemellow??? It's just like melted marshmellow it's corn free and gluten free. I'm alergic to corn and gluten and I make rice crispie treats with ricemellow all the time and I LOVE them!!!! So much simpler if you know how to make ricecrispie treats then all you have to do is use ricemellow instead and you'll have an amazing treat!!! OMG!!!! Why didn’t you just use ricemellow???

I am excited although the link seems to be broken or there's something wrong with that website. Could you send me the recipe please? P.S. agar is wonderful! I made vegan jello for halloween. The whole tray was nearly gone in 10 minutes. This sounds great! I am excited although the link seems to be broken or there’s something wrong with that website. Could you send me the recipe please?
