Ingredients
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (or regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup cotton candy sugar (available in specialty stores or online)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for dusting)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for coating)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marshmallows:
If you’re using large marshmallows, cut them into smaller bite-sized pieces. Mini marshmallows can be used as-is. -
Make the Coating:
In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cotton candy sugar, and cornstarch (if using). Stir the mixture to evenly distribute the sugars. -
Coat the Marshmallows:
In a separate large bowl, melt the butter and gently toss the marshmallows in the melted butter to coat them evenly. You want a light coating, just enough for the sugar mixture to stick. -
Roll in Sugar:
Take each butter-coated marshmallow and roll it in the cotton candy sugar mixture, making sure it’s well-coated. Repeat for all marshmallows. If desired, you can place the coated marshmallows on a tray lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking. -
Chill to Set:
Place the coated marshmallows in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the sugar coating to set. -
Serve:
Once the sugar coating has hardened, your Cotton Candy Cloud Bites are ready to serve! Enjoy this sweet, nostalgic treat that’s light, airy, and utterly delightful!
Notes
- You can add a touch of food coloring to the cotton candy sugar mixture to match the color of the cotton candy (pink, blue, or even rainbow).
- If you don’t have cotton candy sugar, you can make your own by blending regular granulated sugar with a few drops of cotton candy flavoring.
- These bites are great for parties or as a fun treat for kids!
