Homemade marshmallows - so easy, so tasty!

I can’t believe I’m 44 making marshmallows for the first time. It’s so easy and they taste great, not to mention they’re so much healthier than store bought marshmallows. Here’s how we made them.
++ In a mixing bowl, combine 22g grass-fed gelatin & 1/2 cup water. Mix. Set aside.
++ In a stove top safe pot, combine 1/2 cup water, 1 1/2 cups sugar (we used organic maple) and 1 1/4 cups syrup sweetener (we used organic maple syrup). Add a pinch of salt. Boil at 240 degrees for 5-6 minutes.
++ Start whisking your gelatin on low speed and add the hot syrup. Slowly bring speed up on mixer until it’s on high. It took about 6-8 minutes before our mixture looked like marshmallow goo.
++ Prep your pan for the goo by greasing it and sprinkling powdered sugar all over it.
++ Pour goo into pan, sprinkle powdered sugar on top, let sit for 12 hours.
++ Grease your knife and dip it into powdered sugar, then cut your marshmallows into whatever shape you want.
++ Sprinkle more sugar on all sides
++ Set that campfire, roast the marshmallows and enjoy those s’mores!
