1/4 cup butter

1 (16 oz) package mini marshmallows

4 tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla

2 lbs powdered sugar, divided

 

Place marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl, microwave on high for 30 seconds – 1 minute.  Carefully stir the water and vanilla into the hot marshmallows until smooth.  Slowly beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time until a sticky dough is formed.  Reserve 1 cup powdered sugar for kneading.

Rub hands with butter and knead dough, it will become pliable as you knead.  Turn dough out onto a powdered sugar dusted surface and continue to knead until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch.  ( 5 – 10 minutes)  Form into a ball, store in air tight container or plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

To use, bring fondant to room temperature and roll out on surface dusted with powdered sugar.

 

Add flavor oils and/or food color when you add the water & vanilla.
