There are some recipes that are game changers. Recipes that totally shift your paradigm and blow your mind. Homemade Paleo Marshmallows is one of those recipes. Marshmallows without corn syrup & sugar? Last week I didn’t think It was possible. I was wrong! This recipe blows my mind! I am blown away by the simplicity of the ingredients, the remarkably easy prep, and the fluffiness of the sweet marshmallows.
Last week, I was messaging with my friend Tiffany and I said “I wonder if there is way to do a sugar free marshmallow”. I have to admit, I really thought she was right when she said “Um… I don’t think that would work”. Challenge accepted! So, I started researching. I have come to the conclusion that you truly can learn how to do anything with a few google searches.
Still not sold? I just have two words for you… Fluffer Nutter. Wouldn’t this be ah-FREAKIN-may-zing on some almond butter toast? That will SO be happening in my kitchen this winter! If it’s fluff you are looking for, you can skip the whole drying part of this recipe and have the absolute BEST marshmallow fluff you’ve ever tasted.
AND check this out…
They toast up just like the store bought marshmallows! Is your mind blown? I know mine is!

I should be tired of marshmallows by now! (I’ve been working on perfecting this recipe for the past two days.) I should be, but I’m not! I will totally be having another one (or three) toasted marshmallows when I go cook dinner. The batch resting on the counter is just begging me to be eaten!!
Here is how to make these Forking EPIC Homemade Paleo Marshmallows...
Mix honey, 1/2 cup water, salt, and vanilla to small sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees, apx 10-15 minutes.
It is important that your honey mixture gets to 260 degrees. You can use a candy thermometer if you have one. I raided my husband’s tool room for this temp gauge he picked up at Home Depot. It’s super handy I’m the kitchen and I never have to clean molten candy off of a glass thermometer again. Score!
With mixer running, slowly add hot honey mixture to softened gelatin.
Beat on high until mixture forms thick, VERY stiff peaks.
You know it’s ready when you lift the mixer out of the fluff (with the mixer off) and it holds a tall stiff peak without falling.
Immediately spread into prepared pan and allow to sit uncovered on counter for about 2 hours
Dust with arrowroot powder (or corn starch) and cut into squares.
Dust with more arrowroot or cornstarch
Allow to sit uncovered on the counter for the rest of the day, or even overnight.
Does this blow your mind as much as it does mine?!?!? I mean... Just look at that toasted marshmallow! It’s crispy on the outside and ooey gooey in the middle! (Btw- trying to take pics of toasted marshmallows is easier said than done! But it is quite a tasty job!!)
