Light, fluffy, and oh so eerie, these marshmallow treats are destined to be served at your Halloween party. Float them in a devilishly dark cup of hot chocolate or place them alongside other sweets-every ghost and goblin will want to dig in.

Yield Makes about 20 bones

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 ounce unflavored gelatin (1 tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper. Combine 1/2 cup cold water and the vanilla in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring granulated sugar, corn syrup, and remaining 1/4 cup cold water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, washing down sides of saucepan with a wet pastry brush, until mixture registers 234 degrees to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk gelatin mixture with a mixer on high speed for 30 seconds. With the machine running, carefully pour hot sugar mixture down the side of bowl in a slow, steady stream. Whisk mixture until very fluffy and almost stiff, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip.
  • To form the bones: In a continuous motion, pipe a small figure 8, then a straight 5-inch line, then another small figure 8. Repeat. Let bones stand, uncovered, for 10 to 12 hours in a cool, dry place.
  • Generously sift confectioners' sugar over bones, turning to coat. Shake off excess. (The marshmallow bones will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.)
