- 1/4 cup water shopping list
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice shopping list

- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with plastic wrap and spray it lightly and uniformly with cooking spray.
- Set aside.
- Pour the 1/2 cup cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the gelatin on top; set aside for 10 minutes.
- Combine the white sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Do not stir once the sugar syrup begins to boil.
- Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
- Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Mix well.
- Attach the mixing bowl to the stand mixer with the wire whip attachment and start the mixer on low speed.
- Carefully pour the boiling sugar syrup in a steady stream down the side of the mixing bowl.
- Increase the mixer to medium-high speed and add the salt.
- Mix until stiff, shiny, and white in color, about 5 to 12 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally using a rubber spatula.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the pumpkin mixture until combined.
- Add food coloring, if desired, for a deeper orange color.
- Return the bowl to the mixer and beat on medium-high speed about 3 minutes longer.
- Dip a spatula into the marshmallow mixture: the mixture should form a more-or-less continuous ribbon off the spatula into the bowl.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan so that it is an even depth. Let the mixture set at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Sift the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and confectioners' sugar into a pie plate.
- When the marshmallows have set, turn them onto a work surface and cut them into squares or shapes as desired.
- Roll each marshmallow in the cocoa mixture to coat all sides (reserve the cocoa mixture for re-dredging if needed).
- Marshmallows are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container (unrefrigerated) for about a week or in the freezer for a month.
- If you store the marshmallows, re-roll them in the cocoa mixture before serving.
