Easy & Delicious Peppermint Marshmallow Recipe
Author: Kendra
Recipe type: Dessert
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3½ packets unflavored gelatin (just estimate the ½ packet)
- ½ cup Cold Water
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup Hot Water (I just waited for the sink to get hot)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg whites
- 1½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Red food coloring
- Cover 9x13 pan with cooking spray and powdered sugar (9x9 will also work, they will just be a bit thicker)
- Pour the cold water into a mixer then pour the unflavored gelatin on top and let it sit while you move onto the next step
- In a large saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt
- Cook on low, stirring until sugar is dissolved
- Up the temperature to medium and without stirring, keep it cooking until the candy thermometer reads 240 degrees
- Pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin, stir until dissolved
- Beat on high until the mixture turns bright white and expands in volume (about triple). This took my mixture about 5-7 minutes
- In a separate bowl, whist egg whites until it can hold stiff peaks
- Add eggs and peppermint extract into sugar mixture
- Beat until combined (but don't over-beat)
- Pour into pan and top with powdered sugar
- Add a few drops of red food coloring onto the top of the marshmallows, use a toothpick to swirl all around
- Place in the fridge overnight
- Cut around the edges of the pan to release the marshmallows then flip upside down onto a cookie sheet
- Cut in approximately 1" squares
- Add into a Rubbermaid container with powdered sugar and shake to cover the marshmallows
