Description
Delight in soft and fluffy homemade marshmallow bites that bring sweetness to every moment!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Start by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish or lining it with parchment paper to make removal easy.
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of cold water with the unflavored gelatin, letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes to soften.
- Cook the sugar mixture: In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, increase the heat until the mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin along with a pinch of salt.
- Whip it good: Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat on high speed for about 10-12 minutes, until thick, glossy, and holding stiff peaks.
- Add flavor: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, and if you wish, add a splash of food coloring for a fun twist.
- Pour and set: Spoon the mixture into your prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it set at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Cut and dust: Once set, turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board. Dust with powdered sugar, then cut into squares or fun shapes, ensuring you dust the cut sides with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
