Marshmallow Chicks
Ingredients and Supplies
| 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted |
| 1/4 cup cornstarch, sifted |
| 1/2 cup water, divided |
| 2 tablespoons plain gelatin |
| 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar |
| 3/4 cup invert sugar
3/4 cup invert sugar |
| 3/8 cup light corn syrup |
| Food coloring (optional) |
| 1/2 teaspoon concentrated flavor or oil |
| yellow sanding sugar |
Instructions
Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and cornstarch and sift about half the mixture evenly over the lined pan. Reserved the rest. In a mixing bowl, soak gelatin in 1/4 cup water. In a saucepan, combine remaining 1/4 cup water, sugar and invert sugar. Heat but do not boil; pour hot syrup into gelatin, beating slowly. Gradually add corn syrup, flavoring, and food coloring (optional), beating on medium-high speed of mixer until mixture is fluffy, white and doubled in bulk. Spread marshmallows into a well-buttered 9x13-inch pan. Sift remaining sugar-cornstarch mixture over surface. Allow to set an hour. Spray the edge of cookie cutter with nonstick cooking spray and cut shapes out of marshmallow. Toss in yellow sanding sugar.
