Tips for Dehydrating marshmallows

  • If you have big marshmallows you might want to cut them in smaller pieces. 
  • You can’t over dehydrate a marshmallow. You want them to be crunchy and if you want to create marshmallow powder you want them to be even drier.
  • Let them sit before testing if they are done. They need to come to room temperature to test the doneness of them.

What happens to a dehydrated marshmallow?

It might surprise you to learn that dehydrated marshmallows actually puffs up a bit after they are dehydrated (be sure to leave a bit of space between marshmallows so they do not stick to each other). Coming out of the dehydrator they will be a little squishy. Just set them out for a bit and then let them cool down. Down this process they will harden. 

How do dehydrated marshmallows last for?

You can easily store dehydrated marshmallows for 6 months. You can store them in a mason jar or even vacuum seal them with a Foodsaver.
