Originally, the French boiled marshmallow root to soften it and release its sweetness. Eventually, it turned into the marshmallows we know today which do not contain a trace of marshmallow at all! That's a shame because this white root is very soothing to the skin and heals inflammation in the body.

 

The Original Marshmallow Candy Recipe:

 

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

 

Separate 2 eggs, keeping the whites. Beat whites until very foamy and not quite stiff.

 

Beat in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.

 

Slowly beat in 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time.

 

Beat in 2 tablespoons of marshmallow root powder.

 

Drop mixture using a teaspoonful at a time onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

 

Bake for 1 hour.

 

Remove from the sheet and let cool.

 

Eat and enjoy!

 

To store, tightly cover and place in the refrigerator for several days.
