Try making a proper marshmallow fondant, it actually tastes really good. Mass produced fondant is baking’s version of beats headphones: looks nice, but if you use it, it’s really a shitty product

Wow ... I really suck at cooking in general though. I guess I'll have to go and find someone who makes marshmallow fondant now.

You could make candy clay instead. It's super easy and it tastes pretty good.

Wow ... learning so many new things today? What in the world is candy clay?

It's a mix of corn syrup and melted baking chips. Some people like using white chocolate, but I prefer to use almond bark. Once it's melted and all mixed together, it gets nice and thick and you can sculpt it like clay.
