Marshmallow Fondant  

Cook Time: 1 Minute
Ready In: 8 Hours 30 Minutes

"Made with mini marshmallows, this tasty rolled fondant is easier than a traditional boiled fondant."

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) package miniature
marshmallows 4 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pounds confectioners' sugar, divided

Directions:

1. Place the butter in a shallow bowl, and set aside.

2. Place the marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute to start melting the marshmallows. Carefully stir the water and vanilla extract into the hot marshmallows, and stir until the mixture is smooth. Slowly beat in the confectioners' sugar, a cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Reserve 1 cup of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.

3. Rub your hands thoroughly with butter, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
