Homemade Marshmallows.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 packets of plain gelatin
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Combine gelatin with 1/2 cup of cold water and set aside.
  • Cook the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees – watch carefully to monitor the temperature and avoid burning.
  • Once the syrup mixture reaches temperature, remove from heat and slowly pour the sugar syrup over the dissolved gelatin in the bowl of a stand mixer on low; add in the vanilla extract.
  • Turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until thick, for about 15 minutes.
  • Once thickened, pour the mixture out into an 8x12 baking dish that has been generously dusted with confectioners' sugar.
  • Add more confectioners' sugar over the smoothed out top, and set out to rest uncovered overnight.
  • After resting the marshmallows over night, turn them out onto a board and cut them in squares or press with cookie cutters into shapes.
  • Dust with more confectioners' sugar before packaging and serving (try it with Green Mountain Coffee® Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Coffee!).
