    You can use them for s’mores, eat them plain, or use them for Rice Krispies bars.

    This recipe was inspired by myNeapolitan cereal bars and goes great with my homemade graham crackers.

    • Vanilla extract
    • Strawberry jam

    In a sauce pan, combine the rest of the water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar. Boil on high for 5 minutes.

    Pour the boiling mixture into the bowl with the gelatin and water and beat on high for 12 minutes. The mixture should turn white and fluffy and look like marshmallow fluff.

    Let the marshmallows sit for at least 5 hours or overnight at room temperature. 

    Mix the cornstarch and powdered sugar together and sprinkle on baking sheet.

    Once the marshmallows have set and are not sticky, lift them out of the pan and cut into even cubes. Roll around in the corn starch and powdered sugar mixture. Dusk off the excess powder and they are ready to go.

    Enjoy!

    Hint: greasing the top plastic wrap ensures that the marshmallows don’t stick.

    Substitutions

    • Strawberry jam - if you don’t like strawberry jam, you can just leave it out!

    Variations

    • Raspberry marshmallows - add raspberry jam instead of strawberry jam for a delicious raspberry marshmallow.

    Equipment

    • Electric mixer
    • One mixing bowl
    • A saucepan
    • A 9x9 baking dish
    • Plastic wrap

    Storage

    Homemade marshmallows will keep for 3 weeks. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Top tip

    Make sure to grease the top layer and bottom layer of plastic wrap. That ensures the marshmallows won’t stick!
