The ingredients for Easy Marshmallow Fondant are:

- Mini Marshmallow, 8 oz (1/2 of a typical bag)
- Confectioner's Sugar, 4 cups (1 lb)
- Water, hot, 2 tbsp
- Food coloring, optional
- Shortening, quarter cup (used for lining bowls)

Here is how you make Easy Marshmallow Fondant:

Coat a microwaveable safe bowl (big enough to fit in all marshmallows) with some of the shortening. It does not need to be a lot of shortening, just enough that it is fairly slippery. In that bowl, microwave the marshmallows on high for a minute, then stir with a rubber scraper/spatula. If the mixture is not fully melted, microwave again for 15 second intervals until it is done.In the minute or so the marshmallows are melting, line a mixing bowl with the shortening too. When the mixture is all melted, put in the mixing bowl and start using the dough hook. Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water. If you want all of the fondant one color, you can put food coloring in now. Mix in the sugar 1 cup at a time.After a little bit, it may become hard to use the dough hook, and due to the marshmallow cooling, it might become harder to mix in the sugar. In such a case, knead the fondant as if it were dough. To use the fondant, roll out like you were to roll out dough (use powdered sugar for dusting).Serving Size: Serving size on here is 1/100 of recipe, or about half an ounce. This is my typical amount to cover a mini cupcake.Number of Servings: 100Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user REYNINGSUNSHINE.
