Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted for best texture)
  • 1 cup marshmallow creme
  • 2 egg whites (whipped to stiff peaks)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract for variation)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for texture)

Adjustments

  • 1 tbsp milk (if needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Whip Egg Whites: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, ensuring the mixture is light and airy.
  2. Incorporate Marshmallow Creme: Gently fold the marshmallow creme into the whipped egg whites, mixing until the texture is glossy and fully combined.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually sift in the powdered sugar while mixing gently to keep the mixture thick yet pliable without deflating it.
  4. Flavor and Texture: Fold in the vanilla extract and optional chopped nuts carefully to maintain the mixture’s fluffiness. Add milk if the consistency is too stiff.
  5. Form and Set: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper. Allow the candy to rest at room temperature for about 1 hour until set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for the correct texture.
  • Sifting powdered sugar prevents lumps and ensures a smooth candy.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during setting.
  • Optional nuts add crunch, but the candy is delicious without them.
  • Keep the mixture pliable but not runny for easy spooning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain texture.
