Ingredients

55 g	butter
450 g	miniature marshmallows
60 ml	water
1 tsp	vanilla extract
900 g	powdered sugar

Instructions

Place the butter in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Place the marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until they start to melt. Carefully add the water and vanilla extract into the hot marshmallows, and stir to combine until smooth. Beat in 770g of the sugar until you have a sticky dough. Reserve the remaining 130g of powdered sugar for kneading. The dough will be very stiff.

Rub your hands thoroughly with butter, and begin kneading the sticky dough. As you knead, the dough will become workable and pliable. Turn the dough out onto a working surface dusted with powdered sugar and continue kneading until the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky to the touch, 5-10 minutes.

Form the fondant into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

To use, allow the fondant to come to room temperature, and roll it out onto a flat surface dusted with powdered sugar.

Leftovers will save in a sealed container for 2-3 weeks.
