Yield: approximately 9 dozen

marshmallows or 1 1/2 pounds miniature

Ingredients:

3 packages unflavored gelatin 1 cup ice cold water, divided

12 ounces granulated sugar, approximately 1 1/2 cups
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch
Nonstick spray

Episode: Puff the Magic Mallow Directions:

1 Place the gelatin into the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of the water. Have the whisk attachment

standing by.

2 In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/2 cup water,

granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, immediately remove from the heat.

3 Turn the mixer on low speed and, while running, slowly pour the sugar

syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the speed to high. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vanilla during the last minute of whipping. While the mixture is whipping prepare the pans as follows.
