How to Make Marshmallows
Marshmallow-making is magic you can easily create at home with some sugar syrup and gelatin. With this method as a foundation, see how you can make basic marshmallows, marshmallows with egg whites, vegan marshmallows, and several flavor variations like espresso and vanilla bean.No Oven Required: Fluffernutter S'mores You Can Make Indoors
Though summer has ended, I still have s'mores on the brain. Even though I'm not a passionate marshmallow devotee, it's hard not to feel a nostalgic pull s'more-ward. But there was also another item on my dessert bucket list. Despite my peanut butter obsession, I had never tasted a Fluffernutter. Why not combine the two treats?Breakfast Cereal Marshmallows: Yea or Nay?
So apparently there's a site called cerealmarshmallows.com where you can purchase just the colorful, semi-crunchy cereal marshmallow bits (marbits!)—no oat-based pieces involved. Sign you up? Or are your teeth in pain just thinking about it? Take the poll! »Attention Peeps Haters: You May Actually Like the New Chocolate-Covered Peeps
Brand new this year: individually-wrapped chocolate covered Peeps (in both dark and milk chocolate flavors). It's nothing revolutionary, but maybe this is finally where they woo Peeps haters. Biting into it, you don't really think about Peeps. You just taste a chocolate-covered marshmallow blob.Video: First Peeps Store Opens in the D.C.-Area
Love or hate them, Peeps are big-deal enough to get their own retail store in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. You can finally bring your fetish of the squishy marshmallow chicks (and snowmen, bats, and reindeer—they've moved onto all holidays) to the next level with ginormous plush dolls, shiny figurines, bath toys, and other paraphernalia you clearly need. Now, if only they had a reserve collection in the basement cellar of stale Peeps. Take a video tour of the store, after the jump....The Definitive Fluffernutter Sandwich
[Flickr: d76] There was some debate over on Talk as to what a proper Fluffernutter includes, but it's been clarified. Two untoasted pieces of white bread (like Wonder), creamy non-organic peanut butter (like Skippy), and Marshmallow Fluff. That is all. No bananas, no honey, no artisanal bread, no crunchy peanut butter. Yes, we are taking the Fluffernutter nuances very seriously.

[Flickr: MulderMedia] The What the Fluff Festival, a celebration of Marshmallow Fluff in its birthplace of Somerville, Massachusetts, brings new meaning to WTF. On Saturday, Fluff enthusiasts piled into the town's Union Square to listen to Fluff-themed poetry slams, sample Fluff-bearing foods, and play games like "Fluff, Knife, Bread" (a modified version of Rock, Paper, Scissors). This year, you could even follow the festival on Twitter (@FluffFestival). The tradition all started four years ago when the gooey white stuff was receiving some negative press. A bill was proposed to limit the number of times a week school cafeterias could serve the "unhealthy" Fluffernutters, a regional sandwich favorite combining the joys of Fluff with peanut butter. In response, Mimi Graney...Fluffernutter: Massachusetts' State Sandwich?
[Photograph: Robyn Lee] It's good to hear that the Massachusetts legislature has its priorities straight. The Fluffernutter sandwich (marshmallow Fluff plus peanut butter) may become the state's official sandwich. According to the Boston Globe, it's one of three foods, along with Necco Wafers and the Charleston Chew candy bar, that will be considered for official state status by a legislative committee tomorrow. As a Californian, this got me thinking—what would our state sandwich be? Avocado with sprouts on seven-grain bread? And what sandwich would best represent your state?

What happens when you put munchkins in a room with two hidden cameras and a marshmallow? They have a really tough time not eating the squishy white poof, even if they know they'll be rewarded with more if they resist. We saw this video making the rounds recently but thought it was too good not to share this morning. For more psychoanalysis on delayed gratification as expressed through air-puffed gelatin, read this piece by Jonah Lehrer in the New Yorker.
