Recipe(tried): Marshmallow Candy - Bunnies and Chicks

Scroll down to March 21 and there are some recipes for Peanut Butter eggs. This is a marshmallow candy I have been making for years that is good. takes a bit of time but worth it. Enjoy!

Line a 15x10x1 inch pan with brown paper. Soften 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. In a 2 quart suacepan, mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup and 1/3 cup water. Cook and stir till sugar dissolves. Cook, without stirring, to 240 degrees. Stir in gelatin and a tespoon vanilla. cool 10 minutes. Slowly add syrup to 1 stiffly beaten egg white (or use dried), beating on high speed of electric mixer to soft peaks. Spread candy into pan; let stand, uncovered, overnight. dust a sheet of brown paper with powered sugar. Invert candy onto the sugar. Moisten top piece of brown paper by brushing with water; peel off. Dip a small metal open cookie cutter in cold water; cut out figures. Gently push from cutter. Melt 1 1/2 pounds dipping chocolate over hot water, stirring constantly. Do not add any liquid. Dip cut outs one at a time. Place on waxed paper to dry. I give the little fellows a dot of gel for an eye. makes about 42. I usually make dark bunnies and tint some coating pale yellow for chicks.
