- After 10 minutes, your mixture should be ready.
- Pour your mixture into your prepared pan quickly so it doesn't stiffen on you
- You may not get everything; some will stay stuck to the sides
- Smooth out the top of your marshmallow mixture in the pan (you may need to grease the back of a spoon to do this)
- Dust the top of your marshmallows with ½ of your powdered sugar and cover and let sit on the counter for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight1 cup powdered sugar
- Reserve the remaining powdered sugar for later when you release the marshmallows from the pan
- Once the marshmallows are set (after resting 6 or more hours) you can lift them out of the pan by grabbing the sides of your plastic wrap or aluminum foil and gently pull the sides of the wrap down and away from the marshmallows
- At this point, you can begin to cut your marshmallows into any shape you like.
