The plant’s stem and leaves are fleshy and its white flower has five petals. It is not known exactly when marshmallows were invented, but their history goes back as early as 2000 BC. Ancient Egyptians were said to be the first to make them, and eating them was a privilege strictly reserved for gods and for royalty, who used the root of the plant to soothe coughs and sore throats, and to heal wounds.

- prepare your baking pan. You can use a 8×8” or 9×9″ square pan. Lightly spray the baking pan with cooking spray and then covered the pan with plastic wrap. Then brush the plastic wrap with vegetable oil.
- Pour the vanilla and the ice cold water into your mixing bowl. Now sprinkle the three envelopes of Knox Unflavored Gelatin onto the water in the bowl. Gently whisk with a fork until there are no longer any large clumps of gelatin. Allow the gelatin to continue to bloom while you make the simple syrup.
- In a medium sauce pan, add sugar, light corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil while stirring. Stop stirring when the sugar is dissolved. And boil the syrup until it reaches 240°F.
- Turn the whisk on low and slowly pour the sugar syrup into the mixing bowl with the gelatin. Add a pinch of salt.
- Once you have poured all the syrup into the bowl, turn the whisk up to high. The mixture will begin to turn white.
- Allow the marshmallow mixture thicken for 10-12 minutes. The marshmallow mixture will be thick like a meringue, it will no longer be hot and it will begin to pull away from the edges of the bowl.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. If necessary, lightly oil your spatula and finger tips to smooth out the top of the marshmallows. Lightly oil a piece of plastic wrap and then cover the top of the marshmallows. Allow the marshmallows to completely cool and firm up at room temperature overnight.
- Spread out a piece of parchment paper and cover it with a small amount of the Marshmallow Dust. Turn out the marshmallow block from the pan.
- Lightly oil a sharp knife and use it to cut the marshmallows into individual marshmallows. Toss the marshmallows into a bowl with the Marshmallow Dust and cover on all sides.
