Homemade Marshmallows

These are not the easiest or cleanest things to make but man they taste SO SO good. So i had to post this recipe. You will need a candy thermometer to do this right...

So you have to start off by putting

• 3 packets of gelatin
• 1/2 cup of cold water

in a bowl together, best if its the bowl with mixer. While this is sitting, put the following into a pot at med heat.

• 1/2 cup of water
  
• 3/2 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of corn syrup
• pinch of salt

Turn this on med till all sugar is dissolved, than proceed to heat till it reaches 240 degrees with Candy thermometer. Than add this mixture to the bowl with gelatin, (make sure as you are pouring hot mixture into gelatin, that you hit the side of bowl first)

Now put this all on high with a wisker for 14-15 minutes. The longer, the stiffer the marshmallows will be. This will make it nice and fluffy looking.

• Add tbs of vanilla extract at this point

Now its all finished, BUT you need to prep the pan correctly. So you will need

• 1/2 c of powdered sugar
• 1/2 c of corn starch

Now at bottom of pan and sides add some oil/butter/pam all over pan. Than add a bit of sugar/corn starch mixture and put tin foil on top. move about so that it all gets coated with mixture.

Add the marshmallow stuff and than sprinkle more of the sugar/starch mixture on top

Now let this sit covered with tin foil for 4 hours.

Now you get to eat it, BUT, When you cut it up, make sure to add more sugar/starch mixture to make sure its not so SO sticky..

You can put them into tins, but plastic bags make them last the longest


Now enjoy
