Ingredients: 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 cup cold pink champagne or sparkling wine 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup light corn syrup 2 egg whites Powdered sugar, for dusting

Step 1: Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin, vanilla and 1/2 cup of cold champagne. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Set aside in a small bowl.

Step 3: In a medium saucepan, stir together the granulated sugar, corn syrup and remaining 1/2 cup champagne.

Attach a candy thermometer to the side of your pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the thermometer registers 240 degrees F.

Step 4: Pour the gelatin mixture into the bowl of a standing electric mixer.

Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture over the gelatin mixture. Beat on high until the mixture has nearly tripled in size, 6-8 minutes. Beat egg whites into sugar and gelatin mixture until combined.

Step 5: Pour into baking pan.

Step 6: Dust with powdered sugar. Chill uncovered until firm, 2-3 hours.

Step 7: Cut the marshmallows into squares and roll them in powdered sugar.

Don't forget to serve them up with champagne!
