Asked by a curious kid
"How do you make marshmallows"
Marshmallows start with sugar and water, which get cooked into a syrup. Then, something bubbly and airy called gelatin is mixed in to make them fluffy! It's like making a sweet cloud that you can eat. They are then whipped and cut into shapes, ready for toasting!
Fun fact: Marshmallows were originally made from the sap of the marshmallow plant, which grew in swamps!
