Nerds Candy Marshmallows

7 Prepare an 8 x 8 baking dish by lining it with parchment paper and spraying the parchment paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
0 Weigh out the correct amount of Nerds candies and place them in your medium sized pot. Add one tablespoon of water.
1 Melt over medium heat in a medium sized pot. Stirring every now and then to distribute heat.
2 While the nerds are melting, bloom your gelatin.
3 Bloom gelatin by whisking together 200 grams of cold water with 40 grams of unflavored gelatin in the mixing bowl of a 5 quart planetary mixer. Let it sit, undisturbed, until nerds are melted.
4 Once nerds are melted, turn heat to high.  You will still see large clear grains of dextrose. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
14 After boiling, turn off heat and allow melted candy to sit for 5 minutes.  After 5 minutes, pour the melted candy directly on top of the gelatin.
5 Turn the mixer on low for 30 seconds to combine the syrup and gelatin.
6 Increase the speed to high and let it mix for 10 minutes.
8 Turn off mixer. Pour nerds marshmallows into prepared pan.
9 Place another piece of oiled parchment paper on top of the marshmallow, creating a seal.
10 Let nerds marshmallows sit for 12 hours undisturbed before cutting.
11 After 12 hours, oil a sharp knife and cut marshmallows into desired size. 2" x 2" is recommended.
12 Toss marshmallows in powdered sugar.
13 Store in an airtight container.
