Delight in the nostalgia of homemade Marshmallow Easter Eggs, perfect for family gatherings and Easter celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (for coating)
  • Assorted food coloring (for decorating)
  • Sprinkles, coconut, or nuts (for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marshmallow Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook on medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Beat the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You can use an electric mixer for this step to save time!
  3. Combine Mixtures: While the sugar mixture is still hot, slowly pour it into the whipped egg whites, adding the vanilla extract. Whisk until combined and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Shape the Eggs: Dust a clean surface with powdered sugar. Scoop the marshmallow mixture, and with your hands, form it into egg shapes. Dust with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  6. Coat the Marshmallow Eggs: Dip each marshmallow egg into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets to set.
  7. Decorate with Color: Once the chocolate is set, use food coloring to drizzle and decorate each egg. Top with sprinkles, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for an extra festive touch.
  8. Let Set and Serve: Allow your decorated Marshmallow Easter Eggs to set fully at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, serve them up and enjoy the smiles around the table!

Notes

Store uneaten marshmallow eggs in an airtight container for up to a week. Use a candy thermometer for precision when cooking the sugar mixture.
