Why Cant You Use Jet Puffed Marshmellows For Mmf?
Decorating By aundrea Updated 14 Nov 2008 , 9:04pm by SweetPea0613
do mean the the brand name or the big marshmallows? I pretty much only use the kraft jet puffed mini marshmallows, but i have used store brand with good results. i have used the large marshmallows (because hubby bought the wrong ones) and the fondant came out the exact same as with the mini's. HTH
That is what I use too. I use mini's, but I don't think that matters much. I use them b/c I think they melt faster being smaller.
i would use the mini jet puffed.
i know i read it some where here recently. i wish i saved the post, thats why i posted this new question.
someone was talking about mmf, and it was posted not to use jet puffed.
so i was curious. ive used jet puffed before with never a problem.
i didnt know if using another kind would get a better result.
but thanks for responding.
it will remain a mystery to me..................
haha.
The only thing i have noticed with the Kraft Jet Puffed is they tend to be more rubbery. Some people like that better others dont. I dont like it soo elasticy. I prefery store brands like Safeway brand. That's just me.
I always use the Jet Puff too. I used store brand before and my mmf didnt turn out very good at all. I have used the large and minis as well and have always been the same end result.
so far i've only used kraft jet puffed (the big ones) because oddly enough those happen to be the only thing on the shelf when i've needed them. my mmf has come out beautifully with those, although i do plan to try other brands/sizes just to see what the diff is. has anyone used the strawberry kind? it's got pink and white marshmallows, does it hold it's strawberry flavor on the cake?
I prefer the walmart brand, they are whiter and not as elastic as the jet-puffed. The times I've made mmf w/ jet-puffed it turned out stretchy,chewy and rubbery , but to each their own.
I've used all different brands and never had a problem. Just don't use marshmallows that have started to harden. I've also used the chocolate and strawberry flavors of the Jet Puffed brand for MMF. The MMF came out great. And yes, the strawberry still had a strawberry taste. It was a little too strong for me so I kneaded in some plain white MMF b/c I wanted a lighter pink anyway.

I used the Pink strawberry ones but they were the large ones, it turned out fine, and the pink color kept as well. I didnt actually taste it but when i was rolling it, I smelled the strawberry, to be safe instead of adding vanilla, you can add a dab of lorrians strawberry flavor, or some torani's strawberry syrup instead of water. That would help add with the color and taste too.
You may have heard that from me.
Jet-Puffed makes my MMF rubbery, too. When you start to stir in the PS it becomes this glob that is harder to mix than generic marshmallows. I've tried various brands and found that WalMarts marshmallows work best for me. MMF is all I use

sweet, thanks! i've been wanting to try it.
I've always just used the Jet Puffed mini's. I guess I will have to try the generic Walmart brand and the Safeway brand to see which one I like the best!
I wouldn't switch. Once you get to know one brand and become familiar with working with your MMF, switching things up can be frustrating. If Jet Puffed are working fine for you, why change?
When I started making MMF I used the walmart brand...one day I used jet puffed and my MMF crumbled like crazy...so I only use the walmart brand now..lol
But I guess it's diff for everyone
