Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup corn syrup
  • ¾ cup water
  • 3 ½ tablespoons powdered plain gelatin
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • Red food coloring
  • Crushed candy canes
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Add water to mixing bowl, and sprinkle gelatin over top to allow gelatin to bloom. On medium-high heat, heat corn syrup and sugar to boiling for 9 minutes, or until temperature reaches 238 degrees Fahrenheit. Start mixer on slow and slowly pour sugar syrup over top. Beat until cool and marshmallows are very fluffy. Add vanillas, salt, and peppermint and mix. Add a bit of red food coloring and mix just enough to make swirls. Add to a prepared 13X9 pan (prepare pan with parchment paper and spray with oil). Add crushed candy canes to top and press lightly. Allow to cool and cut into squares. Roll marshmallows in powdered sugar so that they do not stick.
