Chocolate Marshmallow Fondant

It tastes good and handles very well so I have decided to share it.

Ingredients

Amount Ingredient 5 cups colored miniature marshmallows 4 cups white miniature marshmallows 1/4 cup water 5 1/4 cups icing sugar 1 1/2 cups cocoa powder

Directions

1. Place marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl then add the water and stir with a fork.
2. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after one minute.
3. While the marshmallows are melting, mix together the icing sugar and cocoa powder, using a fork in a medium sized bowl.
4. Stir in 3 cups of the icing sugar/cocoa mixture to the melted marshmallows. Then with your hands knead in the other 2 1/4 cups of the sugar/cocoa mixture. Store in an air-tight bag or container.
Notes: This fondant tends to be a little drier than the others so be sure to put some shortening on your hands before you work with it.
