Usage tips
Typical collocations
When preparing them, the phrases 'Marshmallows rösten' (to roast marshmallows) and 'Marshmallows grillen' (to grill marshmallows) are commonly used. The sweets are often placed on a skewer for this purpose.
EXAMPLE
Wir haben Marshmallows auf Spieße gesteckt und über der Glut geröstet.
We put marshmallows on skewers and roasted them over the embers.
Describing consistency
Typical collocations include 'weiche Marshmallows' (soft marshmallows), 'klebrige Marshmallows' (sticky marshmallows), and 'geschmolzene Marshmallows' (melted marshmallows). These properties are especially relevant when eating them and in recipes.
EXAMPLE
Die geschmolzenen Marshmallows lassen sich nur schwer vom Löffel entfernen.
The melted marshmallows are difficult to remove from the spoon.
As an ingredient
In recipes and on menus, you often see 'mit Marshmallows' (with marshmallows), for example in connection with hot chocolate or desserts. To describe adding them, the pattern 'Marshmallows in etwas geben' (to add marshmallows to something) is used with the accusative.
EXAMPLE
Für die Kinder geben wir kleine Marshmallows in die heiße Schokolade.
We add small marshmallows to the hot chocolate for the children.
