- 1 cup cold water divided
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light corn syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining ½ cup cold water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves then adjust the temperature to medium high. Insert a candy thermometer and stop stirring. Allow the temperature to reach 240° degrees then remove from heat, about 7 to 10 minutes.1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup light corn syrup, 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Mixing on low speed with the paddle attachment, slowly pour the sugar mixture into the softened gelatin. Increase the speed to high and continue to mix, adding the vanilla while mixing. The mixture will become thick and fluffy. This could take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes, and the mixture should cool considerably and be spreadable without burning your skin.1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, and use wet hands to press the marshmallows into an even layer. Sprinkle powdered sugar over top and allow the marshmallows to sit for several hours before slicing.1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and a serving size of 2 marshmallows. Actual calories will vary.
- A hand mixer with a whisk attachment will work for mixing the sugar mixture into the gelatin. However, a stand mixer with the paddle attachment is a better option.
- A spatula dipping in water helps to scrape the marshmallow off the paddle attachment and out of the mixing bowl.
