These marshmallows. Oi Vey! Let me tell you about these boozy marshmallows. They took me 4 batches to get right. 4! After my first 2 batches failed, stubborn as I am, I refused to quit until I figured them out. And finally, after almost a whole dang bottle of corn syrup, I made the fluffiest most delicious boozy marshmallows. The perfect addition to a cup of hot cocoa and or Saturday morning coffee.

Hot chocolate bombs are all the rage right now but if I’m gonna splurge on a fun and fancy drink you can bet your right thumb it’s gonna be a hot chocolate with a splash of Carolans, Baileys, or some other type of delicious holiday liqueur. So why not combine the two and create fun boozy marshmallows fit for the holidays. I had a bottle of Carolans on hand so I went with that. But you should be able to sub in any other liqueur. If you do, let me know which one you went with! Topped with a chocolate Caralons ganache drizzle and Christmas sprinkles…these boozy marshmallows are everything naughty and nice this year. 😉

Ingredients
Boozy Marshmallows
-
½ cup water, separated
-
1 envelope (15 ml) gelatin
-
1 cup sugar
-
¼ cup light corn syrup
-
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
-
2 tablespoons Carolans liqueur
-
icing sugar for dusting
Carolans Chocolate Ganache
-
¼ cup chocolate chips
-
¼ cup Carolans liqueur
Instructions
Boozy Marshmallows
-
Prepare the loaf pan with non-stick baking spray.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer pour in ¼ cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over top. Set aside.
-
In a small pot combine ¼ cup of water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Allow to boil for 1 minute and do not stir. Remove from the heat.
-
With the whisk attachment give the gelatin water mixture a whisk on low one or two times to break up any clumps. With the mixer on low slowly and gently pour in the hot sugar mixture.
-
Once the mixture is fully added slowly turn the mixer up to high speed and allow to mix for 10-12 minutes. The marshmallow batter will grow and become thick and glossy.
-
Add in the Carolans liqueur and mix briefly until combined.
-
With a spatula transfer, the marshmallow batter into the prepared loaf pan quickly as the mixture gets sticky fast. Cover directly on the top surface of the marshmallow with a piece of saran wrap that has been sprayed with non-stick baking spray. Use this saran wrap to gently spread the marshmallow out even.
-
Allow to fully cool for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.
-
Remove the marshmallows from the loaf pan onto a cutting board that has been generously dusted with icing sugar. Cut the marshmallow into 8 individual marshmallows and gently dust each side with icing sugar. Place aside while preparing Carolans chocolate ganache.

-
In a microwave-safe bowl combine the chocolate chips and the liqueur. Heat in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth, stirring after each interval. Allow to cool slightly.
-
With a spoon or piping bag drizzle the chocolate ganache over each marshmallow and immediately top with festive sprinkles.
-
Store marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Enjoy!
