Recipe Introduction
These are great dipped in chocolate. Just remember to shake off the excess sugar before dipping them.
List of Ingredients
Confectioners Sugar
2 packets unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cups light corn syrup
Pinch salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Red food coloring, optional (I didn't use)
Recipe
Spray 8" square baking pan with cooking spray. Dust HEAVILY with confectioners sugar. In a mixing bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water and let sit for 10 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil to dissolve sugar and then boil 4 minutes more.
With mixture on low speed, pour hot sugar syrup into gelatin. (BE CAREFUL!!) Continue beating until completely mixed. Turn mixer to high and beat 10 - 15 minutes more until mixture has doubled in volume and is completely white. Beat in vanilla and food coloring, if using.
Spread mixture into prepared pan. Wet hands to smooth top. Let set 3 hours or overnight. Turn onto a cutting board dusted with confectioners sugar. Cut into squares with sharp knife (I also dusted knife with sugar.) Toss with confectioners sugar to coat all sticky sides. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
