Quick colourful marshmallows!
I wanted to use coloured marshmallows to decorate some of my cupcakes, but we only had white ones. So I dyed them!

April M. added Dye Marshmallows to food 14 Apr 20:20

Step 1
Mix a drop of food colouring in a bowl with a little bit of water.

I used one drop of blue food colouring and 5 drops of water, and that coloured one big marshmallow.
Step 2
Dip the cotton swab in the mixture and then use it to "paint" the marshmallows.
Step 3
Let the marshmallows dry and then they're ready to use!

Note: If you're cutting the marshmallows in half and then sticking them on something or something like that then it's easier to do that first and then just "paint" the marshmallow once it's on the cupcake or whatever it is.

Ooo, that would be really cool! It might just make a little splotch in the middle though.

But there's only one way to find out!
