If you’re feeling ultra-adventurous, try and make your own marshmallows. Here’s the Christmas candy recipe to get you started.
Ingredients
- 3 Envelopes Unflavored Knox Gelatin
- 1/2 Cup Cold Water
- 2 Cup(s) Granulated Sugar
- 2/3 Cup(s) Corn Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Confectioners' Sugar for Dredging
Steps
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Soak for 10 minutes.
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute. Pour boiling syrup into gelatin and mix at high speed. Add the salt and beat for 12 minutes. Add vanilla and incorporate into mixture. Scrape into a 9 x 9-inch pan lined with oiled plastic wrap and spread evenly. (Note: Lightly oil hands and spatula or bowl scraper). After pouring marshmallow mixture into the pan, take another piece of plastic wrap and press mixture into the pan.
- Let mixture sit for a few hours. Remove from pan, dredge the marshmallow slab with confectioners' sugar and cut into 12 equal pieces with scissors (the best tool for the job) or a chef's knife. Dredge each piece of marshmallow in confectioners' sugar.
