Ingredients Needed
Unflavored Gelatin: Make sure to use unflavored for this recipe portion. It is going to create the base for the marshmallows.
Cold Water: I recommend filtered water so it doesn’t alter the flavor of the marshmallows.
Sugar: Granulated sugar is used to help sweeten up the marshmallows.
Salt: A little sprinkle of salt is needed to help bring out the flavors in the ingredients.
Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract is what I used for adding that sweet vanilla flavor to the marshmallows. You can swap with a different flavor of extract to change up the flavor of the marshmallows.
Powdered Sugar: To help the marshmallows not be sticky to the touch, powdered sugar is used. It coats them and makes them easy to pick up and eat and does not offer that sticky texture.
