My aim is to make sugar free marshmallows as perfectly light and fluffy as these rose water marshmallows are. I have dusted them with drinking chocolate but you could go the traditional route of using cornflour. Or even add some flavour to icing sugar.
Head straight on to the recipe for Rose Water Marshmallows ♥
At the beginning of December 2014 I trawled the Mall looking for grey or black sandals. Mine had given up the ghost and I could not exactly go barefoot at work for the rest of the month. While trying on a huge variety of shoes I wore out the brown ones I was wearing. Which meant having to find a pair of those as well. I was not in a huge rush for those as I do have a pair of brown FitFlops I can wear as long as I am not walking too far. At the same place that I found a pair of black and pink sandals was a pair of brown ones. They were not the prettiest I have ever seen, but they were comfortable. Well, for at least the couple of months they lasted.
Today’s inspiration ♥ Recipe For Rose Water Marshmallows ♥ can be found on Lavender and Lime Share on X
I had no choice but to take them with us to Italy and by the end of the trip I could not wear them much longer. I had wanted to buy a pair of neutral coloured sandals for our trip to necessitate only packing one pair. This is all in aid to save space. However, I could not find anything suitable leading up to our departure. I managed to find a pair of purple sandals, and a pair of chocolate brown ones on our return. At the same time, everything was about chocolate for me. I made spiced choc mint ice cream, chocolate horlicks chews and these rose water marshmallows dusted in chocolate.

Oh I see, just re-read your introduction… you are aiming to make sugar-free marshmallows as light and fluffy as this recipe. I was confused when I read the sugar content. Happy new year, Tandy. x
Yes, that is my aim. Happy new year to you as well 🙂
HI Tandy, shoe shopping can be such a chore sometimes. I want a shoe that looks nice but is comfortable. Sometimes thats a hard bill to fill. Your masrshmallows look delicious, something I want to tackle sometime. I bet they are much better homemade.
That is my exact specification! Please try this recipe, they are super easy and super fantastic:)

Gracias, my husband ate most of them 🙂

I love the taste and fragrance of rosewater. Very delicate in a marshmallow. Lovely recipe.

I love anything rose water and I also love rose water. But I haven’t tried them both together. Lovely share, Tandy.
Thanks Anu 🙂
Big thumbs up on anything rose water and homemade marshmallow. A while back I made some hibiscus ones. Got to try these soon. Have a great trip
Those sound so good Evelyne 🙂
Comfortable sandals that look pretty and work with just about everything is a rare find, I have spent ages trawling for the right sandal too. But I haven’t actually ever tackled the old marshmallow so high fives for your efforts here, they looks tasty little morsels too.
The sandals sadly need to go back!
These look amazing and I love your delicate ingredients so will give them a whizz, thanks for sharing and Happy New Year Tandy 8)
My pleasure and hope you enjoy them!
