How to Make Cotton Candy Cloud Bites
Step 1: Prepare the Marshmallow Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and the whipped topping.
- Use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the marshmallows into the whipped topping, ensuring the marshmallows are evenly coated. The result should be a fluffy, cloud-like mixture.
Step 2: Add Cotton Candy Flavor
- Add the cotton candy flavored gelatin into the marshmallow mixture. Stir well to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the fluffy base. This will give the bites that classic cotton candy flavor.
- Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of sweetness.
Step 3: Shape the Cloud Bites
- Sprinkle a light layer of powdered sugar onto a clean surface or a piece of parchment paper. This will prevent the mixture from sticking as you shape it.
- Using your hands, form small bite-sized balls from the fluffy mixture. These should be about 1 inch in diameter—think of them as tiny clouds. You can use a spoon to help portion out the mixture evenly.
- Roll each ball gently in the powdered sugar to coat the outside, giving the bites a soft and light exterior.
Step 4: Optional Fun Touches
- If you want to make your Cotton Candy Cloud Bites even more magical, you can roll them in sprinkles, edible glitter, or even a bit of colored sugar to add some extra pop. This is especially fun for parties or special occasions.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Once the bites are shaped and decorated, place them on a plate or tray.
- Refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to set and the texture to firm up a bit.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth treat!
