No corn syrup, evaporated milk was the only difference. And the time frame. I flavored mine with orange zest. It was awsome!

I could never do this, even as great as your pics and instructions are, but it was great to see it done and to finally know what they are made of. I never even knew what marshmallows were made of.

OK, my gut reaction is either that your thermometer is off somehow (test it by dunking it into boiling water, it should read 212 degrees Fahrenheit/100 degrees Celsius). Or that your hand-held mixer doesn't have enough ooomph to get the job done. I've only ever made these with a stand mixer. If you can get your hands on one at a friend's house, I'd try that next. Let me know how it goes! +Jessie Oh gosh, hmmm.

Wonder what I have done wrong. I use a candy thermomenter, and follow the instructions. I used hand-held mixer, and extended the beating times, sometimes by twice as much time but still did not yield the marshmallow consistency. Any suggestion? Hi, I have failed 3 times already.

They'll keep for a long time (like a month or two), but will get a little drier the older they are. If you're going to make 'em for the holidays, I'd do it a week and a half or two weeks ahead. Plenty of time to make 'em and still have 'em be nice a smooshy. Cheers! +Jessie Oh gosh, not silly at all.
