Heat over a medium-high flame till mixture just comes to boil, mixing to dissolve sugar. When mixture comes in order to boil stop mixing. Carry on cooking till mixture registers 115°C. Now and then brush down sides of pan using water as the mixture cooks. Pour over gelatin and mix lightly to mix when sugar syrup comes up to temperature. Let mixture sit to cool briefly, around 10 minutes. Next whip on medium-high speed till light, fluffy, plus the consistency of shaving cream, around 10 minutes. Lightly fold in vanilla and cocoa till everything is uniformly mixed. Plop a little spoonful of marshmallow onto plate. Set mixing bowl over pan of ice water till marshmallow thickens in order to the point where it just holds its shape if it doesn't hold its shape. Fill pastry bag plus squeeze chicks (see note). Let chicks sit for 10 minutes in order to set plus next scatter sugar over in order to coat. Use toothpick in order to dab chocolate eyes onto chicks.
