Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper letting the paper overhang on two sides. Dust the paper and pan liberally with the confectioners' sugar.
- Put 1/2 cup cool water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and sprinkle the gelatin over the water.
- Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes.
- With the mixer on medium-low speed, very slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the gelatin mixture. Continue to beat until foamy, about 1 minute, then increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks and the bottom of the bowl is just slightly warm to the touch, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the peppermint extract and the pink food coloring and mix again to combine. Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle the top with the crushed candy. Let sit, uncovered, overnight.
- Lift the marshmallow out of the pan using the overhanging parchment as handles and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp, heavy knife sprayed with cooking spray to trim the edges. Cut the marshmallow into 12 pieces, spraying the knife between cuts as needed.
- To store the marshmallows, dust the bottom of an airtight container with confectioners' sugar. Remove the marshmallows from the parchment, place in the container and keep at room temperature for up to a week.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large clean dry bowl with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until thick and opaque, about 1 more minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until stiff shiny peaks form, about 5 more minutes.
- Scoop 6 large mounds of meringue (3/4 cup each) onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each. Using the back of a spoon, pull up the meringue to form swoops and spikes on each mound. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 250 degrees F until dry and crisp, 4 to 5 hours. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container in a dry place for up to 1 week.
PINK CLOUD
"My grandmother made this colorful fluff for Christmas dessert, but it's delicious anytime of the year," says Joanna Powell of Etobicoke, Ontario. "Replace the crunchy pecans with cubes of sponge cake for a fun change of pace."

JESSICA'S MARSHMALLOW CLOUDS
These are a most unusual cookie in that the cookie dough is wrapped around frozen miniature marshmallows. I have made this for teachers, my husbands co-workers, funeral food, etc. and haven't had anyone not love them. The recipe comes from Mrs. Fields Cookie Book (1992).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Until you are ready to assemble the cookies just prior to baking, keep the marshmallows in the freezer- otherwise they will thaw too rapidly.
- Place the marshmallows back into the freezer between each batch of cookies.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa and baking soda.
- Set aside.
- Combine sugars in a large bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, blend in butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at a low speed until combined.
- Batter will be very stiff.
- Gather 4-5 frozen marshallows in the palm of your hand and cover them with a heaping tablespoon of dough.
- Wrap the dough around the marshmallows, completely encasing them and forming a 2-inch diameter ball.
- Place balls on ungreased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cool on pan 2 minutes, then transfer to a cool flat surface.
Tips:
- Choose the right marshmallows: For the best results, use fresh, soft marshmallows that are not stale or hard. You can also use a combination of different colors of marshmallows to create a fun and festive treat.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven: The marshmallows will expand as they melt, so it's important to use a large pot or Dutch oven to give them enough room to grow.
- Stir constantly: Stir the marshmallows constantly as they melt to prevent them from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add flavorings and mix-ins: Once the marshmallows are melted, you can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or peppermint extract. You can also add mix-ins such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts.
- Let the marshmallow cool: Once the marshmallow is melted and flavored, pour it into a greased 9x13 inch pan and let it cool completely. This will take about 2 hours.
- Cut and serve: Once the marshmallow is cooled, cut it into squares or other desired shapes and serve. You can also top the marshmallow with additional toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fruit.

Making marshmallow pink cloud is a fun and easy treat that is perfect for parties or special occasions.
