Marshmallow + microwave = ?
May 9, 2010 1 Comment
Chris loves marshmallows and it’s partly because he discovered a magical property of theirs back when he was a youngster. Apparently, when you microwave marshmallows, they not only balloon in size, but they become the easiest way to make taffy ever.
1. Put the marshmallow on a piece of parchment paper.
2. Microwave until it triples in volume (it burns if you leave it in too long).
3. Before it cools, use a spoon to press and stretch the now-gooey marshmallow on the parchment paper. When cool enough to handle, use your fingers to stretch and fold the sticky marshmallow until stiff.

Before the marshmallows start swelling to completely: get the mout when they’re melting at a few spots! Now you can teach Chris some speed of light science ;) (did this myself in physics class a long time ago!).
