Step 1

Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment.

Step 2

HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW

Step 3

Mix gelatin and 1/2 cup of the water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Prepare the sugar mixture and while you are doing this the gelatin will bloom.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water, sugar, and light corn syrup to a boil.

Step 5

Boil until it reaches 240°F and then remove the pan from heat. (this usually takes about 6 minutes)

Step 6

With the mixer on medium speed and using the whisk attachment, slowly pour the hot liquid into the gelatin.

Step 7

Increase the speed to high and beat mixture until it becomes white and fluffy (about 5 minutes)

Step 8

Turn the mixer to low and add in melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Allow to mix on high for another minute or so and then remove the bowl from the stand mixer.

Step 9

Add in Rice Krispies and stir by hand. Stir until everything is well-coated, this should take about a minute and a little elbow grease.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 11

Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes (or up to overnight) to make sure the marshmallows set.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy!
