What it is

Marshmallow bits are small, aerated pieces of marshmallow, a confection typically made from sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavorings. These ingredients are whipped together and then dried to create a soft, spongy texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add marshmallow bits to foods for sweetness, texture, and visual appeal. They are commonly found in breakfast cereals, snack bars, hot chocolate mixes, and baking kits for cookies and cupcakes.

Health notes

Marshmallow bits are primarily composed of added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars can contribute to health issues. The individual components, such as sugar and corn syrup, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
