Mixed Review: Barefoot Contessa Homemade Marshmallow Mix

I'm really into making homemade marshmallows from scratch. I love to give them as gifts--people are always so amazed! Plus, you can make all sorts of flavors or coat them in fun things like colorful sprinkles or cocoa.

Wow! Those are so cool! They must have taken forever to decorate. But worth it! :-)

Literally a Cup-cake

That's a great idea to take a pic of the giant cupcake next to a regular one! Wish I'd done that! I do have a photo of us with the cupcake, if you want to see the scale. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-images/by-author/A2KNOQNZ12QZYX --KitchenMaus

Seriously Meatless: Caramelized Onion, Potato, and Blue Cheese Tart

I don't care for blue cheese either, but I've found that swiss makes for a delicious combination with onions, or gruyere as you suggested, if you strive to be oh so French. I actually this very humble onion tart that turned out delicious. It used low fat cottage cheese to create a creamy texture beyond what the swiss could provide. Not as beautiful as this version for sure, but oh so paupered and practical.

I don't like blue cheese - can I substitute, say, Gruyere or Gouda or something else? Thanks.

@JGordon - I wouldn't do phyllo, but I think puff pastry would be good here. But you shouldn't be scared of dough! You are probably just having a basic technical problem - overworking it, too wet or dry, too warm or cold when rolling, that sort of thing. Once you get the knack you'll want to do it all the time. Pick up either The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters or Ratio by Michael Ruhlman for straightforward but detailed instructions that will get you in the pastry dough comfort zone.

This looks delicious! To make it a little simpler and quicker, could you use store-bought phyllo dough or puff pastry? I hate rolling out dough, I always fail. :-(

In any case wouldn't a foodnetwork show have a foodnetwork email addy?

Mixed Review: Barefoot Contessa Homemade Marshmallow Mix

Pielady, thank you. My niece and I made marshmallows for New Year's and they were so delicious. I told her and my husband both that in my youth we were able to get Campfire marshmallows and that Kraft just never did compare. The real ones, though? We all thought we'd died and gone to heaven. I used a recipe from BrownieBites. And really, a boxed mixed for stuff you already have in your house? You still have to do all the work, well I guess it saves you measuring stuff. Take me out to dinner instead, I can't afford it anymore.

ya'll inspired me to make marshmallows over the weekend. My peeps thought I was crazy and told me "you know you can buy these pretty cheap in bags at the store". They did admit that mine WERE better than the store bought bag kind.. so if you are a marshmallow LOVER make you're own, they weren't hard to make, just sticky!

@BostonFoodMan well, some of us work jobs barely above minimum wage. for me to spend more than $11 for all my food for the entire day is an extravagance. but then again, i cant afford cable to watch ina's show either [though i do like her!]
but agreed, this would be a lovely gift... although if someone gave it to me i would be like "wtf, marshmallows?" spend the $11 to get me some real food. but i would still make them and enjoy them.

I will NEVER buy any Barefoot Contessa or Williams Sonoma or any other "designer" pre-packaged food mixes no matter what the cost. How can they be good??? Also do not give them to me as a gift!
