Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows Use fresh mini marshmallows for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sift to avoid lumps; organic options are preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Use room temperature butter for better mixing.
  • food coloring (pastel colors) High-quality gel food coloring works best for vibrant results.
  • edible glitter (optional) Adds a whimsical touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds until liquefied but not boiling.
  2. Add mini marshmallows to the bowl and stir until coated, then microwave again for 30 seconds until puffy.
  3. Gradually mix in powdered sugar using a spatula; use hands to knead at the end as mixture becomes thick and sticky.
  4. Divide the dough into separate bowls and add food coloring to each, mixing until colors are uniform.
  5. Dust hands with powdered sugar and shape pieces of colored mixture into egg forms.
  6. Transfer formed eggs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle with edible glitter if desired and let set for at least 30 minutes before serving or gifting.
