Newsflash: It’s almost Valentine’s Day.

Still trying to think of ways to woo your boo? Listen up. First, pop a bottle of bubbly. Next, whip up a batch of champagne marshmallows. Finally, serve said marshmallows with more bubbly and fresh strawberries.

Sound good? Let’s get cooking!

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 9×13-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.
