Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup cold water (for gelatin)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup water (for syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • edible food coloring pens or icing (for decoration)

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • parchment paper
  • stand mixer
  • saucepan
  • candy thermometer
  • spatula
  • knife

Method
 

  1. Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let sit to bloom.
  3. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium until boiling, then cook until mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).
  4. With the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin. Increase to high speed and whip 8–10 minutes until thick and fluffy. Add vanilla.
  5. Spread marshmallow mixture into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Dust with powdered sugar. Let set at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Cut marshmallows into squares, dust edges with powdered sugar, and decorate with edible pens or icing to look like Stay Puft faces.

Notes

Store decorated marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Use edible food pens or colored icing for decorating faces. These marshmallows can also be cut into different shapes with cookie cutters.
