Instructions

Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with ¼ cup of cocoa powder, then sift a thin layer over the greased dish.
In a stand mixer bowl, combine the gelatin with half a cup of cold water and let it sit to bloom.
In a saucepan, combine the remaining water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-high until it reaches 240ºF and boils, then remove from heat.
Add the remaining ½ cup cocoa powder to the bloomed gelatin. With the mixer on low, carefully pour the hot syrup in gradually.
Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for about 20 minutes until the mixture is lighter, thick, fluffy, and glossy.
Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly in the prepared dish using an oiled spatula.
Dust the top with cocoa and powdered sugar mixture.
Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours before slicing into columns and rows with a sharp oiled knife.
Dip each marshmallow in the cocoa and powdered sugar mixture to minimize stickiness and cut into mini marshmallows if desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure the gelatin is unflavored for the best results.
For less stickiness, keep the marshmallows dusted with cocoa and powdered sugar after cutting.
These marshmallows can also be used for s’mores or as a hot chocolate topping.
