Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup cold water
- 4 tablespoons gelatin
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions
- In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for a few minutes.
- Once the sugar syrup reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer, remove it from heat and slowly pour it into the gelatin mixture while whisking continuously.
- Beat the mixture with a mixer until it becomes thick and glossy. Add vanilla extract and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into a pan lined with parchment paper and smooth the top with a spatula. Let it set at room temperature for a few hours or overnight.
- Dust a cutting board with confectioners' sugar, invert the marshmallow slab onto it, and cut it into desired shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutters.
- Toss the marshmallows in more confectioners' sugar to prevent sticking, and enjoy your homemade marshmallows!
