What it is

Mini marshmallows are small, soft, spongy confections made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin, and air. These ingredients are whipped together to incorporate air, which gives them their characteristic light and airy texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add mini marshmallows to products for sweetness, texture, and visual appeal. They provide a soft, chewy element and are commonly found in ice cream, hot chocolate mixes, cereals, and baked goods.

Health notes

Mini marshmallows are a food product, not a single food additive, and are generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Their primary ingredient is sugar, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise no amount of added sugars. Overconsumption of added sugars can contribute to excessive calorie intake and potential health issues. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set specific acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for finished food products like marshmallows.
