Toasted Marshmallow Syrup


 
As I’ve grown older, I’ve embraced certain rituals that bring comfort and joy to my daily routine. One of my favorites is my afternoon reward: a refreshing cold brew coffee paired with a small treat. Depending on the day, that cold brew might get a splash of something special. I’m not usually one for sweet coffee, but a recipe for toasted marshmallow syrup I stumbled across on Instagram caught my attention. After trying it, I’m hooked! This syrup is delightfully easy to make and adds a cozy, nostalgic flavor to my coffee.
Toasted Marshmallow Syrup

2 c. mini marshmallows
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. water
1 t. vanilla extract

Preheat your toaster oven to the “broil” setting. Spread mini marshmallows on a lightly greased piece of foil (I used a quick spray of Pam to prevent sticking). Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. Broil for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown and toasty.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the toasted marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows melt into the mixture, creating a smooth syrup.

Remove from heat and strain the syrup to remove any small marshmallow bits. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Let the syrup cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks—if it lasts that long!

This toasted marshmallow syrup transforms my cold brew into a decadent treat, perfect for savoring during a midday break. Whether you’re having a tough day or just want to elevate your coffee game, this recipe is a must-try. Enjoy!

  1. Oh I'll be trying this! I quit using Coffeemate and started making caramel sauce with sugar and half and half. We like it, but I'd like one more resembling the expensive Torani syrups. This one looks so simple and good! Does it harden in the fridge?

    1. It doesn’t harden, but it does thicken up a good bit. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t still pour, I usually take it out of the fridge ahead of time.
