Instructions
Unicorn Marshmallows
  1. Grease a 9” x 13” square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in ½ cup water and sprinkle gelatin on top. Mix to combine.
  3. In a medium saucepot, bring ½ cup water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a rolling boil (rapid and large bubbles) and boil for 1 min or until a candy thermometer reads 240 F. Do not stir while mixture is cooking, and be careful! This mixture is extremely hot – ask an adult for help if you’re not comfortable handling the boiling sugar syrup.
  4. Slowly drizzle in sugar syrup along side of bowl with gelatin. Turn to high speed and whip for 8-10 min until thick and fluffy. Mix in peppermint extract.
  5. Immediately pour into prepared pan, and spread out with an offset spatula. Leave to sit for 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
  7. Sprinkle a work surface with powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture, and turn out marshmallow slab. Cut with cookie cutters, and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar/cornstarch if needed.
  8. Decorate using sprinkles and white chocolate chips as seen in video.
Pink Hot Chocolate
  1. Mix together milk, white chocolate, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Mix in pink food color.

Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at at time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add half of dry ingredients to wet and mix to combine. Pour in milk, then continue mixing. Fold in remaining dry ingredients by hand.
  5. Divide batter between three bowls and color as follows: teal, light blue, and purple.
  6. Load batter into a piping bag or Ziploc bag using technique shown in video, or just spoon in the different colors. Pipe batter into donut mold and bake for 15-17 minutes.
Donut Glaze
  1. Mix together powdered sugar and milk until glaze is thick but stir-able. I recommend test-dipping one donut first to see if it drips off the sides too much before dipping all donuts! It can be tricky to judge consistency just by eye.
