Why are Natasha Nicholes’s pillow soft marshmallows considered a must-try recipe?

I’m Natasha Nicholes, and I call those pillow soft marshmallows a must-try for a few reasons:

• The texture is wildly different from store-bought: they’re fluffy, bouncy, and literally melt into hot chocolate.
• I use vanilla bean paste, so you get those pretty flecks and a deep, rich vanilla flavor.
• The ingredient list is simple—sugar, water, corn syrup, gelatin, salt—but the result feels like a fancy treat.
• They’re perfect for gifting, s’mores, and holiday hot chocolate, and you get all the bragging rights because you made them yourself.

Would you be using them more for hot chocolate, s’mores, or gifting?
