Ingredients

  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups water divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 graham cracker sheets
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I did 1 1/2 milk, 1/2 semisweet)
  • 1 Tbsp shortening or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  • Use 1 tbsp. of butter to grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Generously coat the pan with powdered sugar, saving the remaining powdered sugar for later.
  • In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine ¾ c. water, granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the mixture reaches 240 degrees (about 8-10 minutes). While the mixture is cooking, in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the remaining ¾ c. of water and the 4 gelatin packets. Using the whisk attachment, stir on low until the gelatin becomes soft and begins to "bloom."
  • With mixing speed on low, pour the hot sugar mixture in, then increase speed to high. Beat until the mixture becomes stiff, about 12 minutes, add the vanilla and beat for 3 more minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and allow to rest for 4 hours or until firm (note: they will still giggle a bit when set).
  • Once the marshmallows are set, use a knife and go around the edges of the pan. Turn the pan onto a surface COVERED in powdered sugar. Tap to remove. You should have a big sheet of mallows. Using a 2.5" to 3" cookie cutter, make 12 circles. Roll the edges in powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking. Save or use the remaining mallows. Next, cut out 24 graham cracker circles.
  • In a 2 c. glass measuring cup, add the chocolate and melt in the microwave until it's smooth (being careful not to burn). Add the shortening or coconut oil.
  • To assemble, place a dime size amount of chocolate onto the center of each graham cracker. Sandwich the marshmallow in between. Allow to set for 10 minutes. Dip the "sandwiches" into the remaining chocolate, set on a piece of wax paper and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or shavings. Allow to set for 10 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to set for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, set on the bottom of a stockpot and torch the edges of the marshmallows with a kitchen torch. Enjoy immediately.
