Forget the taste experience of your average marshmallow. These sweet treats are stratospherically good.Light, slightly chewy and subtly moreish. Get a cooking/sugar thermometer (cheap at Lakeland or any good catering store) and from the supermarket, leaf-gelatine and liquid glucose. Go for the natural options for flavourings or colourings.

If there’s an open fire around, stick them onto skewers (whole) and toast them.
