yes you can. it doesn't matter you may have to microwave it for a few more seconds but it's all the same. i actually like to use the giant marshmallows when i need lots of colors for accents. i just use 1 marshmallow per color. i buy them when they go on sale and just keep them in the pantry. HTH!!
Thank you so much! That is great to know! 
I had bought some packets of the mini's and they were a mixture of pink and white, so I separated them and the pink ones made a lovely coloured fondant. I need to make some more though because even after 8 packets ( 
) of mini's I still haven't got enough!
So glad I can use the large marshmallows...and so is my accountant hubby! LoL.
all i use is the large marshmallows lol, i like the consistency better than the minis!
Oh wow, chocolate marshmallows! ...so does that give the fondant a nice chocolatey flavour?
I'll be interested to see the difference in consistency now that you mentioned it Cake_architect!
Thankyou for the tips...so far I have found the making of the MMF so much easier than the traditional rolled fondant. I had problems with it drying out, but I have a feeling that the MMF will be a bit more manageable.
yes it gives a chocolate flavor. i always use Jet-Puffed brand. it's what i grew up eating. they even have a strawberry flavor and a toasted coconut but i don't know how that would work with the coconut flakes. actually that might be a fun experiment....maybe a new texture to play with?? 
here is a link to the page with all their different kinds of marshmallows
