OK, I jumped on the Nutella train years ago, but then I made a recipe that will have me forever hooked on it…Nutella marshmallows. I’m sorry in advance for the sugar cravings this will give you, but whether or not you like Nutella, you’re going to want to eat a whole batch of these babies. As someone who really only enjoys marshmallows in a s’more or on top of my hot chocolate, I was surprised how much I enjoyed these Nutella marshmallows, and I’ll probably never make plain ones again.
Marshmallows are interesting to make…the mixture ends up resembling meringue, but this particular recipe is a combination of gelatin and sugar syrup. Last month, I shared a recipe for eggnog marshmallows on Love Vividly, and that one included an egg white addition, so it was a little more complicated. Luckily, this one is very easy to make despite how intimidating it may sound.

You simply heat the syrup until it reaches the correct temperature and whip it into the gelatin for about 15 minutes before adding flavors. I can honestly tell you I prefer homemade marshmallows over store-bought – but isn’t that the case with most homemade things? Homemade is just better, and marshmallows are a great example of that. I’ve made marshmallows quite a few different times now with different techniques and I’d say this is both the easiest and the best recipe I’ve used. It yielded perfectly soft, spongy marshmallows that weren’t overly sticky.
Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get used to making something new, but if you follow my directions, I hope that you can whip up a great batch on the first try! If you prefer plain marshmallows, you can also forgo adding the Nutella and simply sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. I think my next marshmallow recipe will be something fruity…what do you guys think?
