Tips to Make Crispy Deep-Fried Marshmallows

- Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; fry them in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature.
- Try adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar over the finished marshmallows for extra sweetness.

FAQs
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Yes, you can use mini marshmallows, but frying time will be shorter, so keep an eye on them.
Can these be made ahead of time?
They are best served fresh, but you can prepare the batter ahead and dip the marshmallows just before frying.
What oil is best for frying?
Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for deep frying since they have high smoke points.
