Join Jolene Sugarbaker inside The Trailer Park Test Kitchen as she makes Homemade Circus Peanuts! A candy treat you may or may not love! Making this great candy at home is easy, and once you’ve watched Jolene’s Recipe, you can make tons of marshmallows any flavor you want! Homemade Marshmallows taste totally different from Store Bought Ones! They aren’t hard to make, but you need to make sure you follow all the directions. Make sure the Humidity is under 55% (important!) These are great around the Holiday, or a fun time summer time treat…. you can even use them in S’more’s or a recipe! You’ll need a stand mixer, as this takes at least 15 minutes to make! I hope you get a chance to make these!

Oh my glob! I love you so much!
I love this.
you have a very nice mixer for a trailer park peeps.
Goodwill…. goodwill…. I should check out my local Goodwill… Been trying for a stand mixer like that. Even a “boring color” would be OK :O
Im a straight man. And I even liked this. Great video.
:) I actually got my Vintage Stand Mixer at a Goodwill for $25… there’s a video on my channel that shows it up close :)
Your great jolene!
Can you use cornstarch instead of sugar to coat the marshmallows?
I don’t think they would survive freezing…. I’m not really sure how long it’s safe to keep them either… day or two at max… the salt is there and will kill bacteria from growing… but… I’m not sure of the shelf life….
can you freeze these for later?
i keep busting my nuts.
FANTASTIC!
The Liquor might break down the Marshmallow Goo… Perhaps a Chocolate Extract will work better.. If you’re into experimenting and don’t mind loosing a batch (i test things a lot and they sometimes fail) give it a try and let me know!
my dad used to hide his circus peanuts from us kids when I was a little kid LOL
Love your pink saucepan. I would go nuts in your kitchen because of all the clutter though!
I use two different types of Vanilla, neither are clear… One is from Sauer’s…. the other my Chilhood Pharmacist (now retired) makes for me…..I would use the Vanilla that tastes best to you.. the color shouldn’t change things….even when just making Vanilla flavored ones, I don’t notice a different color…
You started doing your makeup differently, lovely! I think I would have used a powdered pizza cutter to cut. What about the vanilla, was it white (clear) vanilla?
It might break your hand mixer :) But you can give it a try :) The mixture gets VERY sticky and thick, and you need to make sure that it keeps moving and mixing….. Good Luck!
You started doing your makeup differently, lovely!
my 10 yr old son watched this episode with me this evening and guess what we are making tomarrow!! But how can you make them if you only have a hand mixer? 15 min. seems like such a lonnnng time to hold a mixer…???
Jolene, you look absolutely gorgeous in this video! Thank you for sharing this recipe :)
I always wondered how marshmallows were made!! I bet rice krispie treats would be so much better with home made marshmallows!
Do you think cookie cutters would work for cutting into shapes??
yuuummmmyyyyy!

These would be great at the holidays! They are much better than store-bought.
thanks for that cool recipe. I have made marshmallows before but your recipe looks much easier than the one I tried before.If I made these orange ones it would be fun to decorate them with the kids for Halloween. For the summer maybe I will do a watermelon flavor and make it pink!- I will use black icing for the ‘seeds’
