Equipment

Standing Electric Mixer

Ingredients

3 envelopes unflavored gelatin (.75 oz)
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup light Karo Syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 tesapoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch

Instructions

Line a 9X9 inch baking pan with plastic wrap. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, pour in the unflavored gelatin. Add the 1/2 cup cold water, and let it sit and soak for 10 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, Karo syrup, and 1/4 cup of water. Heat over the stove on medium-high heat, and whisk together until it comes to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute.
Pour the boiling syrup over the soaked gelatin. Add the salt. Using the whisk attachment, turn the mixer on high speed. Beat on high for 12 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, and mix until incorporated.
Using a rubber spatula lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, scrape the marshmallow cream into the prepared pan. Smooth the top evenly.
Lightly spray another piece of plastic wrap to gently place over the top of the marshmallow cream. Seal around the pan or marshmallow cream to set for 4 hours or overnight.
Add the powdered sugar and cornstarch to a bowl, and stir to combine.
Remove the marshmallow from the pan, and cut into desired sizes. Dredge each piece in the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture and serve!
