Snowmen Cutie Marshmallow Recipe
Ingredients
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water + 2 tbsp.
2 egg whites
1 tbsp. gelatin powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

1. In a small bowl stir together the gelatin and 2 tablespoons of (ice cold) water.
Set aside so the gelatin can absorb the water.
2. In a small saucepan whisk together the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and 1/4
cup water. Bring to a boil and allow to cook until a candy thermometer
registers 235F/113C.
3. In the meantime, beat your egg whites until they hold soft peaks.
4. Once the sugar mixture reaches the right temperature, whisk in the gelatin (be
careful with your hands because it’s likely to release hot steam when you do
this) and stir to dissolve.
5. Slowly add the hot mixture and vanilla extract to the egg whites and whip until
stiff (about 8-10 minutes).
6. Cover a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper and dust generously
with sifted powdered sugar.
7. Spoon the marshmallow mixture into piping bags.
8. Clip a large hole in the piping bag and, working
quickly (the marshmallow will start to stiffen pretty fast), begin piping big
dollops for the bodies and one small dollops for the face.
9. Allow the marshmallows to dry overnight (or at least 8 hours).
12. Decorate
13. Allow the food coloring to dry before packaging.
