Mint marshmallows
 
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 envelopes of gelatin
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups sugar
  • a good pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp peppermint flavoring
  • 3 drops green food coloring or as desired.
  • Cooking spray and powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Spray a large pan with cooking spray and set aside. A 9x13 inch pan works well.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer add the ½ cup water and sprinkle gelatin over top. Let it sit while you make the syrup.
  3. Heat the other ½ cup of water, syrup, sugar and salt until boiling on high. Let it boil for 2 minutes then turn off the heat.
  4. With the whisk attachment, give the gelatin a stir on low to combine.
  5. Keep the mixer on low and slowly pour the syrup into the gelatin.
  6. Turn the mixer up to high and set the timer for 12 minutes.
  7. After it's all white and fluffy add the flavor and color and whip to combine.
  8. Use a spatula and pour the marshmallow into the sprayed pan.
  9. Spray some plastic wrap with cooking spray and place directly on top of the marshmallow. Spray side down.
  10. Let the marshmallows sit for at least four hours.
  11. Once the marshmallows are set, pry one side up and flop it out onto a counter dusted with a good amount of powdered sugar. I used about a cup and saved leftovers for next time.
  12. Cut into squares with a knife and roll all sides in powdered sugar so they don't stick to each other.
  13. Store in bags or an air tight container.
