Homemade Marshmallow Treats:
What You’ll Need:
- Rimmed baking sheet or several small bowls
- Fine crystal colored sugar or turbinado sugar
- Luster dust or sparkle dust (optional)
- Piping bag and tips
- Marshmallow for Piping recipe
- Royal Icing recipe
Directions:
Fill rimmed baking sheet or small bowls with about 1 1/2 cups sugar. If desired, color white sugar by stirring in luster dust or sparkle dust a little at a time. Pipe shapes onto sugar. Bunnies and chicks must be completed one at a time.
Bunny How To:
- Pipe a small marshmallow mound onto sugar, about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch tall. Pipe two smaller mounds on either end for the head and tail.
- Pipe the ears, starting from the top of the head onto the body, pulling forward and off to finish. With a damp finger, pat down any marshmallow spikes formed from piping.
- Immediately sprinkle sugar over the entire surface of the bunny. Allow a few minutes for the shape to set.
- Pipe on a royal-icing face with a #1 Ateco icing tip; lift bunny out of sugar with a spoon or small offset spatula. Place in a parchment-lined airtight container until ready to serve, or for up to 2 weeks
Chick How To:
- Pipe an oval shape onto sugar, about 1 inch wide, tapering the end and pulling upward to finish with the tail.
- For the head, pipe a mound on the end opposite the tail, about the width of the body, pushing toward the tail and up. Pull away from the head to form the beak.
- Immediately sprinkle sugar over the entire surface of the chick. Allow a few minutes for the shape to set.
- Pipe on royal-icing eyes with a #1 Ateco icing tip; lift chick out of sugar with a spoon or small offset spatula. Place in a parchment-lined airtight container until ready to serve, or for up to 2 weeks. – MarthaStewart.com
