Step 7: Cut and Coat the Marshmallows

1. Once the marshmallows have set, dust a clean surface with powdered sugar and cornstarch.
2. Turn the marshmallow slab out of the pan onto the surface, and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the marshmallows into squares.
3. Dust each marshmallow with more powdered sugar and cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together.
