The other day I made some Ice Cube Tray Chocolate Caramels and got the great idea to make some of them into Scotchmallows. I love those candies from See’s! In order to do that I needed a recipe for Homemade Marshmallows. There were plenty to choose from on Pinterest and I finally selected this one from the Food Network. Just look how yummy they turned out!
I was a little nervous to make them but I have tasted homemade marshmallows before and they were UH-MAZING! Like pretty much anything else homemade, they are SO much better than store bought. Seriously. You will love them.
Here’s what you need to get started:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting
In a medium to large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Scoop out the set gelatin and add it to the hot sugar mix. The gelatin should look like this:
Debbie, you sure did keep your promise! I made them last night, devoured, oh I don’t remember,….5 maybe
6…lets just say I am sure glad you can freeze them as they may not make it to my Christmas party in my
home next week! I have joined the marshmallow world in saying, ” I will never buy store bought again”!
They were easier than I thought, and the taste is the best! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Marcy, so glad you liked them! I really couldn’t believe the difference! I can’t wait to make some with my grandkids the next time they come!
