No, marshmallows begin to break down by amylases in saliva.

And, in the stomach, gastric juices further break down the sugars in marshmallows to dissolve them down.

So, marshmallows don't expand, they liquify in the stomach.

Why are marshmallows so yummy like a bunny dipped in honey?

While marshmallows lack the mammalian bone structure of bunnies, they are nonetheless soft like bunnies. However, we are fortunate that marshmallows, unlike bunnies, do not bite back when eaten, nor leave fur behind in the mouth after swallowed. But to answer your question, mainly it is that outer softness, probably provided by dredging in corn starch before packaging so they do not stick together (marshmallows, not bunnies). "Peeps" candies eaten at Easter time are a nice way to mingle the two concepts. Personally, I am glad they have not gone further and invented marshmallows with bones.


Can you color marshmallows with food coloring?

It depends on what you want to freeze and how much you add into it. Solid things are already frozen so food colouring doesn't affect them. Things that have the same freezing temperature as food colouring will not be affected, but things that have a different freezing temperature may be affected only a little depending on how much you add.

What is colloid in marshmellows?

A colloid in marshmallows is a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid, usually water or sugar syrup. In marshmallows, the solid particles are usually gelatin or pectin, and the liquid is typically a sugar syrup. This mixture is then whipped to form a foam, which is what gives marshmallows their fluffy texture. Colloids are also responsible for the soft, chewy texture of marshmallows and for the way they dissolve in your mouth.

What chemicals are in hot chocolate that that make marshmellows dissovle?

Hot chocolate typically contains cocoa powder, sugar, and milk or water, which create an acidic environment. The marshmallows, primarily made of sugar, gelatin, and air, dissolve in this environment as the hot liquid breaks down the sugar and melts the gelatin. The heat and moisture from the hot chocolate further accelerate the dissolution process, causing the marshmallows to soften and eventually dissolve.
