COFFEE-PECAN MARSHMALLOW PIE

Steps:

Chill until slightly thickened. Whisk mixture if not smooth. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream. Spread in crust. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

COFFEE-PECAN FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in a 4 quart heavy saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 10 to 15 minutes or until sugar dissolves and marshmallows melt.
• Bring to a boil.
• Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 234 degrees which is the soft ball stage.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in chocolate morsels until melted.
• Stir in pecans and vanilla.
• Spread immediately into 2 aluminum foil-lined, buttered 5 3/4" x 3 1/2" mini loafpans. I used 1 regular aluminum foil loaf pan for mine. (Lining the loafpans with aluminum foil and buttering them makes it easy to remove uncut fudge from the pans in one piece to slice it).
• Cool completely.
• Remove fudge from pans.
• Slice into 1/2" slabs.

COFFEE PECAN MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Line an 8" square pan with no-stick foil (allowing edges to hang over) and grease with butter. Set aside. In a large metal bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water; set aside. In large heavy saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, coffee granules and remaining 3/4 cup cold water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook without stirring to 250^ (hard ball stage). Remove from heat. Gradually add mixture to gelatin mixture. Beat with whisk attachment on electric mixer on high speed until thick and volume has doubled (about 10 minutes). Be careful, however, with the hot sugar mixture so that you don't get burned in case of splashing! Spread into prepared pan. Cover and cool at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle cutting board with finely ground pecans. Lift marshmallows from pan and cut with a pizza cutter sprayed with non-stick spray. Roll marshmallows in ground pecans. Store in an air-tight container. Yield: Approximately 1 1/2 lbs.
