Color and flavor marshmallow as desired. Keep mixing bowl in a larger bowl of very hot water to keep marshmallow from hardening. Butter easter molds and spoon candy into molds. Set aside about 1 hour; remove from molds and roll in colored sugar. Dry candy for a few hours, then pack tightly in a covered container.Note: Invert sugar is sucrose broken down by heat and acid into fructose and glucose. Invert sugar is a mixture of equal parts dextrose and laevulose. It is about 30% sweeter than regular sucrose. Submitted by: J. Kerty
