Ingredients

• 2 cups Mini Marshmallows (softened, roughly 200 g)
• 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup (for glossy texture)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (adds sweetness and helps caramelization)
• 2 cups Water (for the syrup base)
• 5 drops Red Food Coloring (gives lava‑like hue)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (thickens the mixture)
• 0.5 pound Dry Ice (broken into small chunks; handle with gloves)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (drizzled on top for extra shine)
• 1 cup Powerade (or any flavored sports drink) (optional for flavor; can substitute with Gatorade or fruit juice)

Instructions

1. Prepare Work Area and Safety Gear

   Put on insulated gloves, clear a well‑ventilated workspace, and have a bowl of warm water nearby for any accidental dry‑ice burns.

   Time: PT2M

2. Combine Base Liquids

   In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

   Time: PT2M

3. Heat the Syrup

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, about 250°F (121°C).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 250°F

4. Melt Marshmallows

   Add 2 cups mini marshmallows to the hot syrup. Stir continuously until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 250°F

5. Add Color and Thicken

   Stir in 5 drops red food coloring and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Mix until the cornstarch is fully incorporated and the mixture thickens slightly.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 250°F

6. Cool Slightly

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture sit for about 2 minutes so it’s warm but not scalding (≈150°F).

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 150°F

7. Add Dry Ice

   Using the small scoop, carefully add the broken dry‑ice chunks into the mixture, stirring gently. The mixture will bubble and emit fog.

   Time: PT1M

8. Finish with Honey and Powerade

   Drizzle 2 tablespoons honey over the top and stir in 1 cup Powerade for a subtle flavor boost. Mix just enough to coat the candy.

   Time: PT1M

9. Serve Immediately

   Spoon the glowing lava candy into serving dishes or silicone molds. Serve while the dry ice is still active for the best visual effect.

   Time: PT1M
