Soft, pillowy bars bursting with sweet bubblegum taste—no oven needed, just a quick 10-minute mix plus some chill time.
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Pink food coloring, optional
02 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 -
2 cups powdered sugar
04 -
1 cup marshmallow fluff
05 -
1 cup bubblegum-flavored syrup
# Steps:
01 -
Start by stirring the bubblegum syrup and marshmallow fluff together in a big bowl. Keep mixing until it's nice and smooth, with an even texture all around.
02 -
Add the powdered sugar little by little, about 1/2 cup at a time. After each addition, mix it well. Continue until all the sugar’s in, and you’ve got a soft dough that holds together.
03 -
Mix in the vanilla extract. If you want more color, add a couple of drops of pink food coloring, then stir until the color’s spread evenly throughout.
04 -
Grab an 8×8-inch square dish and line it with parchment paper. Evenly press your mixture into the dish, smoothing out the top so it’s flat. Pop it in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until it firms up.
05 -
Take it out of the dish using the parchment paper, then put it on a cutting board. Slice into 8 even pieces and either serve right away or store them in a container for later.
# Notes:
01 -
Adding pink food coloring is totally optional, but it gives that classic bubblegum look and boosts its visual appeal.
02 -
These bars have a light, fluffy texture—kind of like marshmallow candy that melts as you eat it.
03 -
Keep them in an airtight container—on the counter for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for 2 weeks.
