    Please add this to the marshmallow recipe to keep the marshmallows from
   being grainy.
   
    When you start cooking the sugar and water, be sure to dissolve the sugar
   crystals before it begins boiling as is done with fudge. Either wipe down
   the sides of the pan with a watered brush or cover pan for a few minutes.
