Jabba The Hutt Marshmallows Recipes

Steps:

• Place green sanding sugar and chocolate sugar in a 9x13 baking dish and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add ⅓ cup of water to a bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Sprinkle over 1 packet of gelatin and let bloom.
• Position a candy thermometer in a small pot and add granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture and then turn the heat to high. Once the mixture begins to boil, do not whisk. Bring the mixture to 240°F.
• When the mixture reaches 240 F, slowly pour into the stand mixer with the machine on low. Increase speed to high and beat to stiff peaks, about 10-15 minutes.
• Add the lime extract and ¼ teaspoon of green gel food coloring in the last minute of mixing. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a #12 round tip.
• Pipe Jabbas right onto the sanding sugar. Pipe a curved tail and then a large swirled mound for the body. Pipe a smaller swirled mound for the head and then add arms. Spoon over the sanding sugar to coat and let dry.
• Unroll the licorice wheel and cut in half vertically so you have thinner strings. Cut frowns from the strings so that they fit the faces of the Jabbas.
• Microwave the candy melts in 30 second intervals, whisking in between, until smooth melted. Transfer to a small piping bag and cut off the tip.
• Use the melted chocolate to adhere the mini M&Ms as the eyes, using tweezers if needed.
• Attach the black licorice into a frown expression on each Jabba. Let dry completely before serving.
