Abstract
Improved dehydrated marshmallow products and methods of forming the products are provided. Broadly, the products are formed from a mixture comprising sugar, water, and a protein or protein-containing ingredient other than gelatin. The protein is preferably present at a level of at least about 4% by weight, based upon the total weight of the mixture taken as 100% by weight. In one embodiment the products comprise additional ingredients such as flour or other fillers, chemical gassing compounds (e.g., sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate, and sodium aluminum phosphate), flavoring agents, coloring agents, and preservatives. The processes by which the marshmallows are formed comprise mixing the ingredients to yield a doughy mixture, forming the mixture into the desired shapes without starch application, and drying the shapes to yield the final expanded products which have a bulk density of less than about 23 lbs/ft.sup.3.
