Sugar<\/strong>. Three-quarters of a cup of granulated sugar. No substitutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Corn Syrup<\/strong>. One-third cup of clear (light) corn syrup. Also, not substitutes, but if you don’t like corn syrup, you should see my recipe for marshmallows without corn syrup<\/a><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Salt<\/strong>. The smallest pinch of salt in the sugar mixture is essential for me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Water<\/strong>. We need 6 tablespoons of cool water total. We’ll use 3 tablespoons for melting the sugar and corn syrup, and another 3 tablespoons for blooming the gelatin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Gelatin<\/strong>. Two and a half teaspoons of unflavored plain gelatin powder. No substitutions, and no, I do not know how to make this recipe with gelatin sheets because I don’t have those in my grocery store.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla<\/strong>. One-half teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you’re feeling fancy, you can scrape half of a vanilla bean for this recipe instead!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
