Yes, you could substitute your own thick simple syrup. If you get it to work, let me know the ratio of sugar to water!
Lyle’s is in the maple syrup section of my grocery store.

Thank you for this recipe! I googled looking for a corn-free soy-free marshmallow and your blog came up. My son is allergic to eggs, soy, nuts, corn, rapeseed, beef, chicken, pork, garlic, and melons. After all that, I sometimes wonder what I can feed him. But before I discovered all his allergies, I gave his rice krispy treats, but haven’t been able to give it to him now since discovering the corn allergy. So now, I can make the marshmallow to make the yummy treats! (I use Trader Joe’s Crispy Rice which doesnot contain corn – phew!)

Now the task is to locate this Golden Syrup and examine the ingredients. Wonder if I can sub with a thickened simple syrup?

My kids have an appetite for marshmallows, like most kids do for candy bars. It’s on their fave foods list. So, when I threw out all items with corn in them (dtr has allergy), marshmallows went off our list. So deprived are they, that when I announced I’m making marshmallows, it became an event. The recipe turned out great, and now if we can find corn free rice crispies, we’ll be in business!

Thank you! I have really been missing the occasional sweet snacks and this made some excellent rice krispy treats! My family said the marshmallows themselves were amazing (I don’t like marshmallows except with rice krispies). They were pretty easy too. My piece of advice to anyone making them is when it says a medium saucepan, use a medium saucepan! (or larger) I spilled the sugar because my pan was too small. However, it all worked out! Yum!

I don’t think that either Stevia or Xylitol would work with this recipe. It relies on the chemical changes that sugar makes when heated to a certian temperature – and stevia and xylitol are both so different that I don’t believe they would work the same way.

Love these for my son with corn/rice allergies. They work just as great for roasting, too Trying this batch with some vanilla so we’ll see how that goes!

I use Tapioca Starch instead and they turn out fantastic. I actually prefer them with the Tapioca over the Potato Starch but I do make them either way depending on what I have on hand.

I haven’t tried this marshmallow recipe yet but I would
like to know if the white sugar can be substituted with
another type of sugar? Example, pure Stevia or Xylitol
made for cooking and baking? Has anyone tried it with
another type of sugar?
