Ok so I am attempting for a 3rd time to make MMF. Here is my question cause I need to find out what I am doing wrong. I don't have one of those fancy KA so I am having to work with what I have... 
It says to melt the MM, but here seems to be the problem the MM fluff up and dont really melt per say...?? Being I don't have a KA, what is the best way for me to make this stuff ? TIA

I dont have a KA either but have made MMF a couple of times. Most importantly, make sure that you get the mms melted as much as you can. Stir them and return to microwave if needed. They should at least be pourable. Then add the ps and water a little at a time so you don't burn up your mixer. Don't know if this helps or not. Have you looked at the step by step instructions in the how to articles? That might help more. That is what I use when making the MMF.
I have a KA and never use it for making mmf. I actually feel it's easier to make without it. As people have said..
1. Use large bowl as marshmallows will puff up
2. coat bowl with shortening
3. I add a couple tbs of water and/or flavoring to marshmallows before nuking
4. I sift all powdered sugar into a large plastic bag so it is easy to pour out
5. when marshmallows are melted (they may still have shape, but should dissolve when stirred) they are done...VERY HOT so don't touch
5. When taken out of microwave, I start adding some powdered sugar right into bowl 1st and stir (coat spoon with crisco).
6. I keep adding PS and stirring until it mixture pulls away from sides, then dump some PS on counter and dump mixture on that and use my hands (should be cooled off some to knead and keep adding rest of PS till it's nice ball.
7. I usually add coloring later by kneading in, but can be added to melted marshmallows and stirred in before adding PS.

I don't use my KA to make MMF. I heard that someone's KA broke because it was too thick for the mixer and it overheated... 
I mix it by hand all the time....
I think someone already answered the questions on the marshmallows..
They don't fully melt, but soften enough so that when you stir it, it finished "melting" at that point...
