Author: Public Lives, Secret Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water, divided
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup (Karo is great because you don’t even need a measuring cup for it!)
  • 1 42g package of Raspberry Jell-O gelatin (you will only use half)
  • powdered sugar, for dusting
  • optional (but mandatory!):
  • chocolate chips, melted
  • sprinkles
  • crushed sugar cone

Instructions

  • Line baking pan with parchment paper. Dust paper with powdered sugar.
  • Pour ½ cup water & gelatin mix into large bowl. Let this sit while you create the syrup.
  • In saucepan, over medium-high heat, pour in sugar, corn syrup, & remaining water. Stir until the mixture begins to boil.
  • Cover the mixture for 2 minutes & then remove lid. Let mixture boil for another 5-10 minutes, watching it very closely so it does not burn.
  • Once syrup is complete, pour mixture into bowl of water & gelatin.
  • With an electric handheld mixer, begin mixing the ingredients at a low-medium speed for one minute.
  • Increase speed to medium-high & continue mixing about 10-15 minutes, until thick & stiff.
  • Pour mixture into lined baking sheet & let it sit, uncovered, at room temperature for 12 hours.
  • Place marshmallows into the freezer for 4 hours.
  • Remove & cut with knife. Enjoy!
