Sugar foam known commonly as marshmallow, is nothing but a sweet foam made from water, glucose syrup and gelatine. Marshmallow has its roots, of course, in the United States. In Poland, sugar marshmallows have been adopted not so long ago. I remember my aunt ages ago sending me colourful marshmallows from the States. As a child, I didn’t really know what to do with it, what it is 🙂 The consistency of the marshmallows seemed to be completely out of what I used to and it did not fit into the canon of Polish candies.
At the moment, either my tastes have changed or I don’t care what kind of sweets I eat, because from time to time I go for a small marshmallow foam, e.g. a strawberry one. It was like that the last time as well when I baked muffins. I didn’t want to make standard ones and opted for a marshmallow addition.

The marshmallows will melt significantly during baking. This is normal as they are made of sugar.
