Steps:
- Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle gelatin over a small bowl filled with 1/2 cup cold water; let stand to soften.
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, about 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly add sugar mixture. Add vanilla and continue beating for 10 minutes until the mixture looks like marshmallow.
- Transfer marshmallow mixture to prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Spray a piece of parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray and cover marshmallow. Let stand overnight.
- Remove parchment paper and invert marshmallow onto work surface. Trim 1/4-inch from edges of marshmallow. Cut marshmallows into 1 1/2-inch squares. Pour cornstarch in a bowl; working in batches, gently add marshmallows and toss to coat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Working with 1 marshmallow at a time, insert skewer into a marshmallow and dip in fudge until coated on all sides, removing any excess from bottom of marshmallow; place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining marshmallows (you will have some marshmallows left over). Let chocolate covered marshmallows stand at room temperature overnight before serving or transferring to an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- In a 1-cup glass measure, heat together chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave oven on High about 1½ to 2 minutes, or until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred. Or you may heat in a double boiler(I just place a pan that fits slightly in another pan that has boiling water and stir till melted and smooth).
- Using a fork, dip each marshmallow into chocolate over a cup. Place marshmallows 1 inch apart on a wax paper-lined baking sheet; immediately sprinkle sprinkles or the nuts on top, if using.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, 45 to 60 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Yield Makes enough for 30 marshmallows
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and evaporated milk; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, 234 to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 6 minutes.
- Add chocolate and stir until melted. Add marshmallow cream and vanilla; stir or blend using an immersion blender, until well combined. Remove from heat; use immediately.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows will not hold their shape well and may not melt properly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just heat it on low power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- To make the marshmallows easier to dip, chill them for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate.
- If you want to get creative, you can decorate the marshmallows with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter before the chocolate hardens.
- Store the chocolate-covered marshmallows in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
