Marshmallow Fruit Dip Recipe

Marshmallows are candies that are available in variety of colors, flavors and shapes, and are loved by children as well as adults alike. These soft, spongy and sweet candies were earlier made with marshmallow plants which are found on the side of large water bodies. These were also used for medicinal purposes to treat soar throats in children. However, the marshmallows that are found now are made by adding gelatin and egg whites to boiled sugar syrup, which is finally covered with powdered sugar. Moreover, other texturing agents are also added, and because of it, marshmallows have lost their medicinal properties. Nevertheless, marshmallow is not only a popular candy, but can also be found in the form of cream which is used as spreads for sandwiches and toppings for desserts. People also make dips of marshmallows that go well with appetizers and fruits. Let us now look at the recipe.
