Make your own delicious peppermint marshmallows - perfect for winter hot chocolate or just for a snack on their own.
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Cover 9x13 pan with cooking spray and powdered sugar (9x9 will also work, they will just be a bit thicker)
  2. 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
  3. In a large saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt
  4. Cook on low, stirring until sugar is dissolved
  5. Up the temperature to medium and without stirring, keep it cooking until the candy thermometer reads 240 degrees
  6. Pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin, stir until dissolved
  7. Beat on high until the mixture turns bright white and expands in volume (about triple). This took my mixture about 5-7 minutes
  8. In a separate bowl, whist egg whites until it can hold stiff peaks
  9. Add eggs and peppermint extract into sugar mixture
  10. Beat until combined (but don't over-beat)
  11. Pour into pan and top with powdered sugar
  12. Add a few drops of red food coloring onto the top of the marshmallows, use a toothpick to swirl all around
  13. Place in the fridge overnight
  14. Cut around the edges of the pan to release the marshmallows then flip upside down onto a cookie sheet
  15. Cut in approximately 1" squares
  16. Add into a Rubbermaid container with powdered sugar and shake to cover the marshmallows
