Kids usually love marshmallows, Homemade marshmallows are definitely one of my favorite candies. they are sweetness that are soft, tender and melt in your mouth. They are easy to eat,and making . very impressive when you bring them out to serve to friends or family.
4 cups sugar
4 packets unflavored gelatine
1 3/4th cup water - divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cornstarch
In a bowl combine the 4 packs of gelatine with 3/4th cup water. Let this set between 10 and 30 mins so it may "bloom". In one pot pour in 4 cups sugar and 1 cup of water. Next bring to boil the sugar and water with medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it comes to a boil stop stirring and boil until a candy thermometer reaches 244 degrees - the firm ball stage. Once that stage is reached slowly pour syrup into gelatine, beating {at high speed if you have an electric mixer}. Add in vanilla and continue to beat until basically it fluffs up. This takes between 15 and 30 minutes worth of beating time total.
Now combine cornstarch and powdered sugar together and sift into a jelly roll pan,cookie sheet or casserole dish. Pour marshmallow mixture into your pan and let it rest overnight. Next day slice marshmallows into squares.
