Hints from Heloise Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: Please tell me how to keep marshmallows from sticking together. I have stored them in the bag they came in, closed and in a dry, cool pantry.

Is there a way to unstick them? This has happened to me several times. – Anna L. Kasmiersky, Garwood, Texas

It’s usually pretty easy to unstick marshmallows. Just pour a little confectioners’ (powdered) sugar or cornstarch into the bag, close and shake, shake, shake until the marshmallows are coated. Most of the marshmallows will fall apart, but there might be a few that remain stubborn, and you should be able to gently pull them apart.

To keep marshmallows fresh and unstuck, put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag or a container with a tightfitting lid and store them in the freezer. When needed, remove and thaw at room temperature, and they are good as new.– Heloise
