I tend to forget to get marshmellows, so I had to find this recipe years agot. Its one of my favs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar shopping list
- 3/4 cup water shopping list
- 2 tablespoons gelatin shopping list
- 1/2 cup cold water shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- cornstarch shopping list
- confectioners' sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Mix 2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup water. Simmer over medium heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage (on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat.
- Soften 2 tablespoons gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water. Place in a large bowl. Pour the hot syrup over the softened gelatin. Stir until dissolved. Let stand until partially cooled. Then whip until thick and white, and until mixture will nearly hold its shape. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pour into brown paper bags lined with equal parts of cornstarch and confectioners' sugar, mixed together. Roll the top down to keep it fresh. Let stand in a cool place until firm (not in the refrigerator.) Cut into squares with scissors and dust with confectioners' sugar. Store in an air-tight container in a cool place.
- *I have also just poured this into an ols marshmellow creme jar(s) and put the lids on, put into the shelf. I do not keep this for long, I usually make this when I want to make fudge.

I saw a martha steward show where they made marshmallows, cut them into squares and then dipped them into warm fudge..you had to work quickly but then you had fudge covered marshmallow candies..
