What is the best (i.e., easiest, most efficient) way of tinting mmf:

in melted marshmallow mixture?
kneading as the last step? (I find this very time consuming)
throw it in the KA with the dough attachment?

I'd like to try mmf as I'm tired of my RI colours bleeding!!

I hear that throwing it in the melted marshmellow mixture is the best way to go. I made some for the first time a few days ago and didn't know that then so I just kneaded mine in.

If it's all the same color, that's the best way to go. I usually need several colors, so I just knead it in. I like to warm it a little so it works into the fondant faster.

Coloring your "soupy" marshmallow mixture is the only way to go IMO! I've never had any success coloring MMF after it's made! You have to knead it forever!
