                                  Making marshmallows isn’t new to me. I’ve been making homemade marshmallows for years. I do it partly because I enjoy it and partly because I can control the ingredients when I make them myself.

                                  It’s not just that, though. Marshmallows here in Spain are weird. It’s difficult to find the white ones here, and the colorful marshmallows they sell taste overly sweet. In fact, if you try to roast them over a fire, they just burn.

                                  On the other hand, making a homemade version of the fun Easter treat, marshmallow Peeps®, was new to me. I had been wanting to try making them for several years now, but for some reason, I kept putting it off until now.

                                  Homemade marshmallows without corn syrup

                                  I’ve always made marshmallows without corn syrup. At first, it wasn’t because I had any particular issue with corn syrup. I made them without corn syrup because it’s not something that is readily available here in Spain.

                                  Over the years, I tried several different recipes. Most used Lyle’s Golden syrup instead of the corn syrup. Lyle’s is a common British sugar syrup that I can easily find here in Spain.

                                  GAPS and Paleo-friendly

                                  While those who are trying to avoid corn syrup would prefer a recipe made with Lyle’s, sugar syrup isn’t something that’s allowed by people following GAPS or paleo lifestyles.

                                  Those who follow GAPS or Paleo diets will be happy to know that it’s simple to make marshmallows using honey instead.

                                  Are these healthy?

                                  Let’s get real. While honey and natural colorings make for an arguably healthier marshmallow, this still isn’t a healthy recipe by any means. It is still high in sugar. These are meant to be an occasional treat in a healthy, varied diet.

                                  Making the marshmallows

                                  The first step to making Peeps® inspired treats is to make the actual marshmallow base. This can be accomplished with sugar, sugar syrup, or with honey as I’ll show you today.

                                  The main 2 components of homemade marshmallows are gelatin and sugar. When dissolved and mixed together, heater to a certain point, and then whipped long enough, a soft fluffy marshmallow is made. It’s quite amazing to see really, and kids tend to LOVE making these.

                                  Get the gelatin to bloom

                                  Begin by softening the gelatin in some water. Getting the gelatin to swell is called getting it to “bloom.” I usually use 3 tablespoons of water in a half cup of water for one batch. (Using less gelatin is possible, and it results in slightly softer marshmallows.)

                                  By hydrating the gelatin, it more easily is incorporated and dissolved into the rest of the ingredients later on.

                                  • Overhead view of a cup of water, a cup of honey, some gelatin powder in a small bowl, and an empty bowl for mixing ingredients.
                                  • Overhead view of a gelatin and water mixture in a white bowl, being scooped up into a spoon.
                                  • softening the gelatin in water. It takes on a granular appearance.

                                  Heat the honey mixture

                                  While the gelatin is softening, you can begin to heat the honey with some water. I use one cup of honey with a half a cup of water. If using a solid or thick honey, the honey will dissolve into the water as it heats up.

                                  Heat the mixture to 240ºF/115ºC. While this temperature falls into the soft ball stage of candy making, I find that it’s very difficult to check by texture using honey. It’s easier to follow the temperature reading.

                                  • Overhead view of an empty pan with a cup of honey to the left, and a mixture of gelatin and water in a bowl above it.
                                  • Overhead view of a honey and water mixture in a pan with a bowl of gelatin and water above it.
                                  • Overhead view of a honey and water mixture being heated in a pan, and with a thermometer probe inside it. Gelatin is hydrating in a white bowl above the pan.
                                  • Overhead view of a honey mixture with a thermometer reading of 243ªF and a fully hydrated gelatin in a white bowl above it.

                                  You can also see in the photos above how the gelatin in the white bowl swells as it hydrates.

                                  Whipping the honey-gelatin mixture

                                  Once the honey mixture has reached the right temperature, it’s time to mix it with the gelatin. The heat from the honey mixture should help easily dissolve the hydrated gelatin.

                                  The important step to forming fluffy, white marshmallows is to whip the mixture with egg beaters. By whipping the mixture, air gets incorporated into it. Not only will the mixture increase in size as that happens, but it will also get lighter and lighter in color.

                                  • Overhead view of gelatin in a bowl in a honey mixture.
                                    Mix the gelatin with the honey.
                                  • Overhead view of salt in a measuring spoon, over a honey mixture in a bowl.
                                    Add salt and vanilla extract.
                                  • Overhead view of an electric beater whipping the honey gelatin mixture.
                                    Whip all the ingredients together.
                                  • Overhead view of an electric beater whipping the honey gelatin mixture more fully whipped. It's getting lighter in color.
                                  • Overhead view of an electric beater whipping the honey gelatin mixture more fully. It has increased in volume and It's almost white in color.
                                  • Overhead view of an electric beater whipping the honey gelatin mixture more fully. It has increased in volume and It's white in color.
                                    The mixture increases in volume and lightens in color.

                                  Even when using dark-colored honey, you should end up with relatively white-colored fluffy marshmallows!

                                  Once you have made the mixture, it’s time to form it. There are several ways to imitate the fun shapes of real-deal Peeps®.

                                  The piping method

                                  The Peeps® I remember eating as a kid are the 3D yellow chicks. Their unique shape, made by a special machine, is a bit tricky to make at home. Still, that doesn’t mean that people haven’t tried it. (If you know me well enough by now, you probably know that I’ll try to make just about anything at least once too. 😉)

                                  I saw a few tutorials showing how to pipe your own marshmallow baby chicks that were similar to the candies I remember. While I’m not very good at piping, the process looked simple enough, so I thought I’d give it a try.

                                  • Making a piped marshmallow peep in the shape of a chick on top of yellow colored sugar crystals.

                                  While it wasn’t a complete Pinterest fail moment, I found it difficult to pipe this marshmallow mixture. Getting the sticky marshmallow mixture into the piping bag was already tricky enough. Then, the marshmallow mixture began to set too quickly. You have to work quickly if you want to make a decent number of them with the recipe as written.

                                  When the mixture was warm and less solid, it didn’t really keep its shape. When the mixture was cooling and getting more solid, it was almost impossible to pipe out the marshmallows.

                                  I ran out of time and ended up with a piping bag full of set marshmallows!

                                  Advice

                                  If you are set on piping your marshmallows, try reducing the amount of gelatin in the recipe slightly. You can also add some whipped egg whites to your marshmallows to slow the hardening.

                                  Using candy molds

                                  Another common way of making marshmallow peeps is to use a silicone peep mold.

                                  I didn’t have a peep mold, but I did happen to have another cute Easter mold at home. So, I decided to use that instead.

                                  Adding marshmallow mixture to molds. Some are messy as the mixture was hardening before I could fill up the trays.
                                  My first attempt at using a mold wasn’t successful, but I was using the leftover piping mixture that was already starting to harden.

                                  While I thought using a mold would be much easier than piping the peeps, my first attempt at using a mold wasn’t very successful. I should mention, though, that I used the leftover marshmallow mixture from my attempt at piping, and it was already starting to harden.

                                  Pouring the marshmallow mixture into multiple, small molds can take some time. (And, it’s tricky to neatly fill the molds.)

                                  Meanwhile, the marshmallows set as they cool. So, unless you are fast, or modify the recipe with less gelatin and/or the addition of egg whites, it is tricky to make very many before they set.

                                  successfully using a mold with homemade marshamllows
                                  Different marshmallow shapes: a silicone load mold on the left and filled candy molds on the right.

                                  My second attempt was more successful. I used a freshly made marshmallow mixture and sucked it up it into a big, food-grade syringe. Using a syringe helped me fill the molds more quickly and accurately.

                                  Using cookie cutters

                                  My favorite method, for overall ease, was using a cookie cutter to cut the Easter shapes. Rather than try to make a 3D chick shape, I opted for a flatter bunny.

                                  Pour a flat marshmallow

                                  To begin cutting out your shapes, first make a large, thin marshmallow. To do so, either pour the marshmallow mixture into a greased silicone pan (like the loaf pan pictured above) or just pour it onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment or wax paper.

                                  • Pouring a marshmallow mixture into a pan lined with baking paper.
                                  • Marshmallow mixture on a baking tray.
                                  • Cutting a bunny shape from the marshmallows on a tray.
                                  • Many cut out marshmallow shapes in form of an Easter bunny.

                                  Once the mixture cools, it becomes hard enough to easily cut out with cookie cutters. While this sounds simple enough, I can give you some tips for making this method even more fool-proof.

                                  Tips for getting the best shape

                                  Firmer, thinner marshmallows are easier to cut than thick, sticky ones. Here are a few tips to making the cutting process easier if you’re having difficulties.

                                  • Use a thinner layer of the marshmallow mixture. Trying to cut a thick layer of marshmallow is much trickier than cutting a thinner one. So, don’t try to add too much marshmallow mixture to pan molds. Keep the height around 1/2 of an inch if possible.
                                  • Try adding slightly more gelatin. If you find the mixture too sticky to cut, either allow it to cool further or try using more gelatin next time.
                                  • Heat the sugar (or honey) mixture to the right stage (240ºF). Make sure that you heated the honey long enough. Otherwise, the mixture may be too sticky and too soft to cut easily.

                                  How to make homemade cookie cutters

                                  Perhaps you don’t have Easter shaped cookie-cutters. I didn’t have them either, but I decided to make my own. I’ve made my own many times in the past. (Here on the blog, I already showed you how to make some simple ones for cutting out cute garden markers from polymer clay.)

                                  While it may sound complicated, it’s actually quite easy to form your own cookie cutters.

                                  Materials

                                  While I’ve seen people go to the hardware store and buy sheets of copper or other metal to make their own cookie cutters, I find that it’s easiest to just buy cheap cookie cutters and repurpose them into the shapes that I want!

                                  Forming the cutters

                                  Armed with an old cookie cutter and a couple of pairs of pliers, I whipped out a bunny head cookie cutter in just a matter of minutes!

                                  All you have to do is to figure out the shape you want, and then start using both round and flat pliers to slowly shape the cookie cutter as needed. It helps to draw out the shape ahead of time, but when working with simple shapes like this one, it isn’t absolutely necessary.

                                  A collage of 4 photos showing the various stages of making your own cookie cutters by using a pliers to form the metal into a new bunny shape for cutting homemade marshmallow peeps.

                                  I was hoping to be able to use the original welding of the cookie cutter. I didn’t want to cut the cookie-cutter apart, so I had to conform to the amount of metal already used. If your old cookie-cutter comes apart, or you purposely cut it to make it easier to shape, you can temporarily glue it back together with super glue. (Or just manually hold it in place as you use it.)

                                  Remelting the marshmallows

                                  Luckily, this candy is pretty forgiving. While testing out the various methods for forming the shapes, the mixture solidified several times, making it impossible to continue.

                                  Also, when cutting out marshmallows, you end up with a lot of scraps that you may want to try to use later on.

                                  The best way to resolve those problems is to re-melt the marshmallow mixture.

                                  • Solidified marshmallow mixture
                                  • melting the marshmallows in a pan.
                                  • drizzling some melted marshmallows back into the pan where they were melted to show the texture.

                                  I decided to melt the solidified candy in a pan, thinking I would need to whip it again to get it back to a usable marshmallow state. Surprisingly, though, the mixture melted without losing its air bubbles. I was able to pour the mixture into the molds without needing to whip up the mixture again. The resulting marshmallows were indistinguishable from the original ones.

                                  There are limits, of course. I tried to reheat the mixture a second time, but that attempt wasn’t as successful. While the melted marshmallows looked OK to use, the mixture ended up separating into a honey gelatin layer on the bottom and marshmallow layer on top.

                                  So, this year, when remelting marshmallows, I whipped them for a few minutes before using them, just in case.

                                  Coating them

                                  The first step to decorating them is to cover your candies with a colorful topping. Not only will the topping help keep them from sticking to each other, but it’s the best way to decorate them.

                                  Traditional Peeps® are covered with colorful sugar sprinkles. So, when I began making my copycat version, I decided to make my own naturally-colored sugar sprinkles.

                                  Using a colored sugar coating

                                  There were a few problems with using colored sugar sprinkles for covering the peeps, though.

                                  • I found them WAY too sweet.
                                  • The color of the sugar crystals wasn’t very bright and vibrant.
                                  • With the humidity, the sugar crystals melted away into an orange syrupy mess only a few hours after making them!

                                  After storing the sugar-coated homemade peeps, the sprinkles “melted” into a syrup.

                                  Using “Paleo” coconut sprinkles

                                  To save the above batch, I rinsed off the sugar and dipped the candies into coconut sprinkles instead. While you could use store-bought food coloring to color the shredded coconut, I used food I had at home instead. The below sprinkles were colored with beetroot, turmeric, and red cabbage!

                                  Making coconut sprinkles:

                                  To make your own coconut sprinkles, add a few drops of a homemade food coloring to some unsweetened coconut flakes. (The homemade food coloring can either be extracted directly from fresh vegetables or can be made with dried powders and extracted with alcohol or glycerin.)

                                  Once you add the food coloring, stir well, until the dried shredded coconut evenly absorbs it. Once the coloring is evenly dispersed, allow the sprinkles to dry. (Dry sprinkles adhere better to the marshmallow shapes.)

                                  To quickly dry the sprinkles, spread them out in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake them in the oven on the lowest heat setting. (Use a fan if your oven has one.) Bake gently for long enough to dry them out. You can also use a food dehydrator. See the full process in my post about how to make paleo sprinkles.

                                  If you’re following a GAPS or paleo diet, or are just choosing to avoid refined sugar, you’ll be happy to know that the coconut coating is not only healthier, but I think tastes better too. Plus, the coconut absorbs more color, meaning you end up with brighter colored peeps that keep much longer! (And, no syrupy mess!)

                                  Tips to get the coating to stick

                                  To more easily coat the candies, I ground the coconut into a finer powder. Not only did it more easily stick to them, but the finished candies looked look more authentic because the ground coconut more closely mimicked sugar crystals. (In the photo above, the pink and yellow sprinkles were ground in a coffee grinder.)

                                  There are other ways to get the sprinkles to stick:

                                  • If the candies have dried and solidified too much, dip them in a honey and water mixture to help get the sprinkles to stick to them more easily.
                                  • Make sure the sprinkles are completely dry before trying to coat the marshmallows.
                                  • The finer the grind, the easier it is to coat the candies.

                                  Adding the eyes and nose

                                  To make the eyes and noses, I used a toothpick to add a few dots of a melted chocolate, adding 2 small dots for the eyes and one for the nose. While you can melt any chocolate and use that, I found it easier to use a mixture of cocoa powder and melted coconut oil.

                                  As long as the finished candies are stored in a cool location, the coconut oil/cocoa mixture will stay solid and the eyes and nose keep their shape without melting and bleeding into the coconut.

                                  How long do they keep?

                                  When using the coconut sprinkle topping, the finished candies stored amazingly well. I was actually able to keep them in the fridge for several weeks without noticing any change in their appearance!

                                  If you don’t have room for them in the fridge, store them in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. They should still keep for a couple of weeks!

                                  Instructions

                                  Make the marshmallow mixture

                                  • Mix together the gelatin and half of the water (1/2 cup) in a bowl. This will help soften it while you work on your honey syrup mixture.
                                  • Mix together the honey and the rest of the water to a small pan. Heat the mixture, while stirring over medium, until the mixture reaches 240ºF/115ªC.
                                  • Once you have reached the right temperature, remove the honey mixture from the stove. Add the softened gelatin mixture to it.
                                  • Begin beating the two mixtures together with an egg beater.
                                  • Continute to beat the mixture, increasing the speed as you go along. Keep beating until the mixture becomes white and frothy.
                                  • Add in the salt and vanilla extract and whip a little bit more.
                                  • Once it looks like marshmallow cream, you can pour the mixture into greased molds or pour it over a baking sheet lined with paper. (You can use either Easter themed molds or a square pan for later cutting shapes out with cookie cutters). You can also try piping out some marshmallows.
                                  • The marshmallows will set as they cool. If using cookie cutters, cut shapes from the hardened marshmallows.

                                  Coating the marshmallows

                                  • Dip the marshmallows in colored coconut or colored sugar sprinkles to decorate them and keep them from sticking together. Marshmallows covered in sugar sprinkles may "weep." I prefer to use coconut sprinkles as they tend to be brighter in color, are healthier, and hold up much better.

                                  Adding the eyes and nose

                                  • To make the eyes and nose, mix the cocoa powder with some melted coconut oil. You don't need very much, and it's easier to manipulate it if you add in enough cocoa powder to make a somewhat thick liquid. Otherwise, it has a tendency of running. I used a toothpick to dot on the eyes and noses. As it cools, the chocolate will set. These should be stored in a cool dry place anyway.
                                  • Serve immediately or store in a cool dry place.

                                  Notes

                                  The nutritional information is based on making 20 peeps with this recipe. The number of peeps will vary greatly depending upon the size you’ve made them.
                                  To ensure the sprinkles stick to the marshmallows, make sure the sprinkles are fully dried after coloring them. This can be achieved with a food dehydrator or an oven on low heat.
                                  By grinding the coconut finely, it also helps it stick better to the marshmallows. 
                                  If the marshmallows have fully solidified and the coconut sprinkles don’t adhere well to them, you can help make them stick by dipping the marshmallows in a honey/water mixture first. 
                                  These keep well in the fridge, up to several weeks or even a month or longer. 
                                  Marshmallows can be re-melted in a pan over low heat. You may need to re-whip the mixture with an egg beater if it has lost volume.

                                      Hi Rosa,
                                      I guess it depends on how many marshmallow lovers you have in your house. 😉 Just kidding.
                                      But seriously, they keep very well. They can even keep for a couple of weeks out of the fridge if you keep them in a cool, dry place. In the fridge, I’d guess they can keep for up to a month or so, maybe even longer. (I kept some in my fridge for a friend one year- we kept putting off getting together- and they were still tasty several weeks later.)
