Thank you COOL WHIP for sponsoring this post.
Homemade marshmallows are messy and difficult to make, but here’s a version usingCOOL Whip Whipped Topping that is super simple, delicious, and ready for your spontaneous hot chocolate parties in no time.
Keep reading to see the full tutorial…
Supplies:
1 container of COOL WHIP
1/2 cup of water
Large mixing bowl
Spoon
Wax paper
Tray
Mini cookie cutter (I used a star shape)
Step 1: Pour the COOL WHIP into a mixing bowl and add the 1/2 cup of water. Adding the water is necessary so it freezes well enough to cut out pieces that hold their shape.
Step 2: Mix well with a spoon until the water is incorporated evenly into the COOL WHIP.
Step 3: Line tray with wax paper. Pour the mixture into the tray (you’d like it ideally about 1/2 inch thick or more) and freeze at least 4 hours
Step 4. Lift wax paper out of sheet and place on a table.
Step 5: Cut out shapes with your cookie cutter and place layers of the mini marshmallows between sheets of wax paper in a freezable container.
Step 6: Store in the freezer and pull out individual marshmallows as needed for fancy hot chocolate!

Do they melt if you leave them out for a while? Or do they dry? Can they be used at room temperature or over a strawberry on the 4th of July?
What the what? That is amazing! So simple and yet it has to be delicious. I slave over my marshmallow recipe; I’m so glad I found this alternative for when I don’t feel like making marshmallows from scratch!
Hooray! Let me know how it goes for you
cool whip isnt available in australia but I’ve googled several times to find a substitute for other recipes I’ve tried and it says that cool whip is a substitute for whipped cream…. I’ll give this a go with the cream and see if it works…. it is coming on winter here so this is perfect timing for cups of hoc chocolate! (or milo – the main hot choc drink here)
This is genius!! Awesome idea. Headed out to buy cool whip!
What a great idea to jazz up a mug of hot chocolate! Thanks for sharing.
Did you watch Mad Men this week? Don and Peggy were pitching a Cool Whip commercial. Worlds collide!
YES! Isn’t that funny! I loved their little commercial they acted out
haha I was thinking the SAME thing!
I thought the same thing!
These look delicious!
These look so cute and yummy! My daughters sleepover party is next week, this would be a prefect idea for late night treats! Might also be fun using these shapes on pie or jello, etc. the wheels are turning!
I love those ideas, Michelle! Please let me know if you try them out!
Okay, HERE is a homemade marshmallow I would actually eat.
