Sprinkle a little sugar and cornstarch mixture over the top of the marshmallows reserving the rest. If you want a very flat surface place parchment paper over top and press down slightly with your hands.
Let the marshmallows sit out for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
After the marshmallows are ready turn them out onto a cutting board. Cut the set marshmallow slab into your preferred sizes with a pizza cutter that has been dusted with the confectioners sugar and cornstarch mixture.
Once cut dredge each cut marshmallow in the confectioners sugar making sure to coat all sides. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
