Ingredients and Supplies
To make these Christmas marshmallows, you will need:
3 packets of unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup of cold water
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1 cup of light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
A few drops of red and green food coloring
1/2 cup of powdered sugar for dusting
A candy thermometer
A stand mixer or electric hand mixer
A Christmas-themed cookie cutter
Parchment paper
A large mixing bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
Attach the candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and let the mixture come to a boil without stirring. Once it reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat.
Using the stand mixer or electric hand mixer, slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the gelatin while it is mixing on low speed.
Once all the sugar mixture has been added, increase the speed to high and continue mixing for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
While the mixture is mixing, add the vanilla extract and a few drops of red and green food coloring to create a festive swirl effect.
Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly dust it with powdered sugar.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish and use a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
Dust the top with more powdered sugar and let it set for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Once set, use the Christmas-themed cookie cutter to cut out the marshmallows into desired shapes.
Dust the cut edges with more powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Serve these delicious Christmas marshmallows on their own or add them to hot cocoa for a festive and tasty treat.
With this simple and well-organized recipe, you can easily make your own Christmas marshmallows to enjoy during the holiday season. Get creative and experiment with different shapes and colors to make them even more festive.
