Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the gelatin powder with 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow it to bloom for about 5 minutes.
After blooming, heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Add erythritol to the saucepan and continue to stir until it is fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer at high speed, beat the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes thick and triples in volume.
Pour the beaten marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the marshmallow to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once set, remove the marshmallow slab from the dish and cut into 24 pieces.
For the chocolate coating, melt the cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until liquefied.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered erythritol until smooth. Stir in coconut oil until combined.
Dip each marshmallow square into the chocolate mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Once the chocolate is firm, enjoy your low carb chocolate-covered marshmallows!
