Cooking instruction summary:

First, make the red food coloring (not necessary, but looks cute!). Put the beet juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Let it simmer until its reduced by about half - it should be slightly thickened and gel-like. Remove to a small bowl and let cool. If you over reduce it and its too thick, you can whisk in extra beet juice to thin it out.Grease an 8x8 square pan (for thick marshmallows), 9x9" pan (for slightly thinner), or 9x13" pan (for thin marshmallows) very well with coconut oil, using a paper towel to rub it and make sure you fully coated the bottom, sides and edges of the pan. Set aside.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the unflavored gelatin and cup cold water, whisking gently to combine. Let stand to allow the gelatin to bloom while you make the syrup.Place the honey, maple syrup and cup water in a medium saucepan and stir gently. Clip a candy thermometer onto the pan, and place it over medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil, checking it occasionallyyou are looking for it to eventually hit a temperature of 235-240F (soft ball stage).Once the syrup reaches 240F, pull it from the heat. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and slowly pour the sugar syrup into the gelatin mixture. When all the syrup has been added, turn the speed to medium-high and let it go for about 8-10 minutesthe mixture should turn white and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt and mix for 30 more seconds.Working quickly, use a dropper to drip the some food coloring onto the marshmallow. Swirl with a silicone spatula, adding more food coloring if desired. Don't mix - just gently run your spatula through the food coloring.Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula spritzed with cooking spray to even it out. If desired, you can add a bit more food coloring across surface of marshmallow and swirl in with the spatula. Tap the pan on the counter a few time to get rid of air bubbles. Let sit for about 6 hours or until firm.Use a knife to loosen the marshmallow from the edges of the pan and invert it onto a tapioca flour-dusted work surface. Dust the marshmallow slab with more tapioca flour and cut into whatever size pieces you wish (a pizza cutter works great here). Dip the sticky edges of the marshmallows in more tapioca flour and shake in a sieve to remove excess. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
