For a stronger peppermint flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer, but be prepared for a longer beating time. Make sure to cook the sugar syrup to the correct temperature to ensure the marshmallows set properly. Dusting the marshmallows with the cornstarch mixture prevents them from sticking together.
