Learn everything you need to know to make dehydrated marshmallows! These are so fun to have on hand for hot cocoa, baking, and adding to snack mixes.
Ingredients
Marshmallows
Instructions
Start with clean hands, equipment, and countertops.
(Optional) If you’re using full sized marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces to help them dry faster. Dust the cut edges with powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking.
Arrange marshmallows in a single layer on dehydrator trays, ensuring there is space between pieces to allow airflow.
Dehydrate at 150ºF/65ºC for 6-10 hours*, until the marshmallows are completely dry. To test, let them fully cool, when pressed between your fingers or bite one—they should shatter when fully dry.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Optionally, place a moisture absorber in the container if you will open it often or live in a humid area.
Notes
*Total time will depend on your machine, total dehydrator load, humidity in the air, and air temperature. 6-10 hours is a range and you should rely primarily on the feel and texture of the marshmallows to determine doneness (shatters between fingers after being cooled). You can’t over-dry marshmallows, so feel free to leave them in for longer to be safe!Oven instructions: Place the marshmallows in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dry in the oven at 150F (any higher will cause them to melt)—if possible, keep the door propped open to allow steam to escape.
