So, what's behind this mysterious transformation? It all comes down to humidity (or lack thereof). When marshmallows are exposed to dry air, they slowly lose their moisture, causing them to harden and become brittle. It's like they're crying out for a drink of water to revive them!
But fear not, dear readers, for all is not lost! There are ways to rescue these hardened marshmallows and restore them to their former fluffy glory. One method is to place them in an airtight container with a slice of bread or a piece of apple – the moisture from these foods will help to soften the marshmallows over time.
