Letter to Jet Puffed Marshmallows

Dear Jet-Puffed,

How excatly does one jet-puff a marshmallow? I can't really imagine it involves a jet, or a jet engine of sorts, but even if it did, what does the jet do that actually puffs the marshmallow? Do you make marshmallows that aren't puffed, or at least puffed in some other non-jet way? Please help!

Sincerely,
Nick Tully

Dear Nick,

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in how KRAFT JET-PUFFED Marshmallows are manufactured.

The key ingredients for KRAFT JET-PUFFED Marshmallows--corn syrups, sugars, gelatin, flavor and color--are blended together and mixed while heating to dissolve all ingredients and create a uniform mixture.

This mixture is then whipped and cooled to create the light, fluffy texture that is characteristically JET-PUFFED. The whipped mixture is formed into a finished marshmallow with the desired shape and size. Varieties include regular white, mini white, mini chocolate and seasonal shapes and flavors.

We hope this answers your question.
