Description

These Cotton Candy Cloud Bites are a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth treat that will remind you of childhood carnivals! Soft, fluffy marshmallows coated with a sugary cotton candy dust, these bites are the perfect combination of airy sweetness and nostalgia.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Prepare the Marshmallows:
    If you’re using large marshmallows, cut them into smaller bite-sized pieces. Mini marshmallows can be used as-is.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Chill to Set:
    Place the coated marshmallows in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the sugar coating to set.

  6. 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!
