Royal Icing for Marshmallow Treats image

Use this recipe to decorate our Sugar-Coated Marshmallow Bunnies and Chicks, Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow Chicks, and Flat Marshmallow Shapes. While not in use, the tip of the icing bag should be wrapped in a damp paper towel -- icing hardens quickly when exposed to air.

1/2 pound confectioners' sugar (2 cups)

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine confectioners' sugar and meringue powder with scant 1/4 cup water on low speed. Mix until fluffy yet dense, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Color the icing as needed starting with a small amount of gel food coloring.Transfer to a small pastry bag fitted with a 1/32-inch pastry tip (#1 Ateco).
