Ingredients:

  • 1 serving cooking spray
  • 6 tbsp warm water
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup , plus
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp pure peppermint extract
  • red food coloring
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Line a 9x9 pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top. Spray plastic wrap lightly with cooking spray. Place the 6 tablespoons of warm water in a large bowl, and sprinkle gelatin on top. Let gelatin soften in the water for 5 minutes.
  2. Combine the white sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a tall saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for one full minute, 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Pour the hot syrup over the softened gelatin, and add the salt. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until the mixture increases in volume and holds a peak, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
  3. Pour into prepared pan, add several drops of red food coloring, and swirl with a toothpick. Cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for 4 hours. Cut into 18 squares, using a knife sprayed with cooking spray. Combine cornstarch and powdered sugar in a bowl. Toss cut marshmallows in the reserved powdered sugar mixture. Store in airtight container or resealable plastic bag.
