Peppermint Marshmallows (TNT)
These can be dipped in tempered dark chocolate or served in hot chocolate. They are a pretty pale pink.

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 1/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup crushed candy canes or mint candies
1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
Into a bowl, sift together powdered sugar and cornstarch. Line a baking pan with foil. Coat with cooking spray and 2 tablespoons sifted sugar cornstarch mixture. Place 2/3 cup water in a bowl, sprinkle with gelatin, let soften 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat next 4 ingredients until sugar and candy are dissolved. Strain into bowl with gelatin. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread into pan. Dust with 2 tablespoons sugar cornstarch mixture. Let set 2 hours.
Lift marshmallow from pan with foil. Cut into 6 squares. Spread remaining sugar cornstarch mixture onto a baking sheet. Invert marshmallow block onto sheet, cut each square into 9 pieces. Toss marshmallows into sugar cornstarch mixture and set on a pan to set an additional hour. Makes 54 pieces.
Note: I always use Maida Heatter's marshmallow recipe's directions to help me as a further guide.
For easy clean up, just pour boiled water over everything and soak.
