Honey Bourbon Marshmallows

Honey Bourbon Marshmallows.  Every few months I get an itch to experiment with different marshmallow flavors.  I have always loved marshmallows, but I especially love making my own flavors and sharing with my friends and family.  I have wanted to use honey in my recipe for a while, but, truthfully, I was nervous to try it.  I.am.so.glad.I.FINALLY.did.though!

Like all of my marshmallow recipes, I started with Alton Brown’s basic marshmallow recipe.  But, for these marshmallows, I added local honey, and Evan Williams Honey Bourbon.  The honey has a bold flavor as soon as you bite into the marshmallow, while the bourbon has a more subtle taste just as you finish eating the marshmallow.  

[yumprint-recipe id=’78’]When I am experimenting with flavors, I typically only make one tray of brownies, and pass them out to friends and family, and ask for their honest opinions.  I was able to make just over 100 small marshmallows from one pan, and I sent them all over the US.  (I package them in ziploc bags, and pop them in padded envelopes or small boxes and mail them with standard USPS shipping.  I let the recipient know they may want to dust the marshmallows with more confectioner’s sugar and pop them in the freezer for a bit when they arrive too.) 

I am working on  a few other marshmallow recipes in the next few weeks, and if they are a hit, I will share the recipes here.  What flavor would do you want to try?
