Scale

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.

Notes

  • If bubblegum syrup is unavailable, substitute with bubblegum-flavored drink concentrate or mix a neutral syrup with bubblegum extract.
  • Marshmallow fluff can be substituted by melting regular marshmallows with corn syrup for a similar texture.
  • Adjust sweetness and consistency by adding powdered sugar gradually to avoid over-sweetening.
  • Pink food coloring is optional but recommended for an authentic bubblegum appearance.
  • Store Bubblegum Slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
