Bubblegum Slices Recipe

Introduction

Bubblegum Slices are a fun and nostalgic treat that captures the sweet, airy flavor of bubblegum in a soft, chewy form. Perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a playful snack, these slices are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup bubblegum-flavored syrup (or bubblegum-flavored drink concentrate or neutral syrup with bubblegum extract)
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or melted regular marshmallows with a bit of corn syrup)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff and bubblegum-flavored syrup. Stir with a spatula or spoon until the mixture becomes smooth and airy.
2. Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, stirring continuously. The mixture will thicken and become dough-like. If the dough is too sticky, add extra powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until it is easy to handle.
3. Step 3: Mix in the vanilla extract. Add a drop or two of pink food coloring if desired, and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
4. Step 4: Line a small dish or baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the dough evenly in the dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it firm up.
5. Step 5: Once firm, remove from the dish and cut into bars or squares. Enjoy your Bubblegum Slices!

Tips & Variations

• If marshmallow fluff is unavailable, melting regular marshmallows with a little corn syrup creates a similar fluffy texture.
• Adjust the pink food coloring based on your desired intensity of color for a more festive look.
• For a firmer texture, chill the mixture longer before slicing.
• Experiment by adding a sprinkle of edible glitter on top for a sparkly effect.

Storage

Store Bubblegum Slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If refrigerated, bring slices to room temperature before serving for the best texture. To refresh firmness, chill again briefly if slices soften.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 1 cup bubblegum-flavored syrup
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pink food coloring (optional, a few drops)

Instructions

1. Mix the Marshmallow Fluff and Bubblegum Syrup: In a large mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff and bubblegum-flavored syrup. Stir with a spatula or spoon until the mixture is smooth and airy, which is essential for the signature light texture.
2. Gradually Add the Powdered Sugar: Slowly add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuously stirring. The mixture will thicken into a dough-like consistency. Add a little extra powdered sugar if the dough feels too sticky, about a tablespoon at a time, until it can be handled easily.
3. Add Vanilla Extract and Food Coloring: Mix in the vanilla extract for depth of flavor. For a vibrant pink bubblegum color, add a drop or two of pink food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed; this step is optional but enhances presentation.
4. Shape and Chill the Mixture: Line a small dish or baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the dough evenly in the dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the mixture, making it easier to cut.
5. Slice and Serve: Remove the chilled firm mixture from the dish and cut it into evenly sized bars or squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy your homemade Bubblegum Slices.
