These have way too much sugar for me to try, but they do look lovely. I love seeing the process for making different traditional foods,
The recipe looks so simple to make. The only issue would be the gelatin which is not vegetarian. So, I will need to swap that and use agar-agar or something similar instead.
Yes,Agar Agar will work 🙂
These are so pretty! I have made marshmallow sauce before but not marshmallows. I don’t like things that are that sweet by themselves, but maybe to go with s’mores they would be a great option!
