I am smug like a smug thing and posting about it very belatedly.

Why am I smug?

I am smug because, using this recipe, substituting light agave nectar for corn syrup and granulated xylitol for granulated sugar (ETA: and powdered xylitol for confectioner's sugar), and using Kolatin brand gelatin ...

... I have successfully made kosher sugar-free marshmallows.

They taste like marshmallows. They have the right texture. You can toast them.

I am pretty sure this means I win. :D :D :D

Woot!

For extra credit: could you make them non-poisonous to ladymondegreen? Would Splenda work in place of Xylitol?

[batyatoon]

Sadly, no. :( I have tried before: Splenda doesn't turn into syrup. (Also, the agave nectar is too much fructose.)

It's okay. I can generally eat regular kosher marshmallows, though they are poisonous to marapfhile so everyone's marshmallow hurts someone.

There's a "harshing my mallow" joke in here somewhere, but I'll be over here with the graham crackers and the chocolate trying to contain it.
