Fluffy, light, and perfectly sweet—homemade marshmallows are a treat you didn't know you needed!

So, Lykkers, let's dive into making them yourself, and you'll never want to go back to store-bought.

<h3>Homemade Marshmallow Recipe</h3>

<h4>Ingredients:</h4>

- 3 packets of unflavored gelatin

- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

- 1 cup light corn syrup

- 1 cup water (divided)

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Powdered sugar (for dusting)

<h4>Directions:</h4>

<b>Prepare Gelatin:</b> In the bowl of a stand mixer, add ½ cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

<b>Make the Syrup:</b> In a saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Use a candy thermometer and continue heating until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C).

<b>Mix:</b> With the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat for 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy. Add vanilla at the last minute.

<b>Set:</b> Grease a square baking dish and dust it with powdered sugar. Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly in the dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Let it set for at least 4 hours.

<b>Cut:</b> Dust a surface with powdered sugar, then invert the marshmallows onto it. Cut into squares and dust the sides with more powdered sugar.

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

These homemade marshmallows are soft, melt-in-your-mouth bites of sweetness, perfect for any dessert or snack!
