Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons butter; 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin; 1 cup cold water, divided; 2 cups sugar; 1 cup light corn syrup; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract; 10 to 12 drops food coloring; 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar; 1/4 cup finely ground peppermint candies

1
Line a 13x9-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with butter; set aside.
2
In a large metal bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt and remaining water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 240u00b0 (soft-ball stage).
3
Remove from the heat and gradually add to gelatin. Beat on high speed until mixture is thick and the volume is doubled, about 15 minutes. Beat in extract. Spread into prepared pan. Quickly drop food coloring over candy; cut through candy with a knife to swirl. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight.
4
Combine confectioners' sugar and peppermint candies. Using foil, lift marshmallows out of pan. With a knife or pizza cutter coated with cooking spray, cut into 1-in. squares; toss in confectioners' sugar mixture. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
