What will happen when a marshmallow dissolves in vinegar?
When a marshmallow dissolves in vinegar, the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the sugar and gelatin in the marshmallow. This process breaks down the marshmallow's structure, causing it to lose its shape and become a sticky, gooey mixture. The dissolution is primarily due to the vinegar's acidic properties, which disrupt the bonds holding the marshmallow together. Over time, the marshmallow will essentially dissolve, leaving behind a sweet, syrupy liquid.

marshmellows melt expired or not
Uhmmm....Sorry, all marshmellows will NOT melt. My garbage can prove it. I started out today as usual melting them on the stovetop on low heat. They just sat there refusing to melt. I transferred them to the microwave and all they did was blow up about 8 times their size but never, ever changed their shape. I had monster marshmellows until the mircowave door was opened then they looked like someone had pulled their air plugs. All I had after 45 minutes of trying were tough (literally) perfectly shaped little marshmellows that never melted even the slightest bit. I started researching this and before I found this page I read that Wal-Mart brand marshmellows won't melt anymore. So there you have it. Maybe they will and maybe they won't!

How do make Egyptian marshmallows?
"Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the eastern United States. Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes."
