  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar 
  • 0.3 cup powdered sugar 
  • Dash salt 
  • 0.3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened sifted
  • teaspoons cocoa powder unsweetened
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • cup water divided

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • wire rack
  • blender
  • baking pan
  • stand mixer
  • microwave
  • spatula
  • kitchen scissors
  • offset spatula
  • candy thermometer

Directions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup water into a small microwave-safe bowl, and sprinkle with gelatin.
  2. Combine remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 25
  3. Pour sugar mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer; let stand until a candy thermometer registers 21
  4. Microwave gelatin mixture at HIGH for 20 seconds or until gelatin melts, stirring after 10 seconds. With mixer on low speed, beat sugar mixture using a whip attachment; gradually pour gelatin mixture in a thin stream into sugar mixture.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Increase speed to high; whip mixture at high speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Reduce mixer to medium speed, and gradually add 1/4 cup cocoa; beat until combined. Using a spatula coated with cooking spray, scrape mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray; smooth top.
  6. Let stand 2 hours.
  7. Sift together powdered sugar, cornstarch, and 2 teaspoons cocoa into a jelly-roll pan. Using an offset spatula coated with cooking spray, remove marshmallow from pan; place in sugar mixture. Using scissors well coated with powdered sugar mixture, cut marshmallows into 78 (1-inch) squares. Dust with powdered sugar mixture; shake to remove excess sugar mixture.
  8. Arrange marshmallows on a cooling rack placed on a rimmed baking sheet.
  9. Place bittersweet chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until melted, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
  10. Drizzle melted chocolate over marshmallows; let stand until chocolate is set.
