How to Make Marshmallow
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
- Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C) – the soft-ball stage. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the bloomed gelatin with an electric mixer on medium speed until dissolved.
- With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the gelatin mixture. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **For Cookie Toppers:** Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly onto your favorite cookies. Immediately dip the marshmallow-topped cookies into flaked coconut or crushed corn flakes.
- **For Candy:** Pour the marshmallow mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Let it set completely, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once set, cut into 1-inch cubes. Dip the cubes into your choice of coconut, corn flakes crumbs, crushed nuts, or other desired toppings.
- Place the finished marshmallows in an airtight container with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade marshmallows!
