Calories: 109kcal

Equipment

  • Stand mixer with whisk attachment (a hand mixer will work too!)
  • 8x8 pan
  • medium saucepan
  • silicone spatula
  • candy thermometer

Ingredients

Marshmallows

  • 2 ½ tablespoons unflavored gelatin 3 packets
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • orange food coloring if desired

Coating

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Combine all coating ingredients. Line 8x8 pan with parchment paper and cover the bottom and sides with the coating mixture.
  • Place water and gelatin in a mixing bowl (the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment if you have it), and set aside.
  • In a small to medium saucepan, heat sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat, covered, for 4 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue heating until a candy thermometer reads 240 F.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Begin beating the gelatin mixture, and slowly pour in the syrup mixture.
  • Increase the mixer to high speed (do this slowly to avoid splatter!) and beat for 12 minutes.
  • Add pumpkin pie spice, and orange food coloring, if desired.
  • Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining coating mixture over top of the marshmallow mixture.
  • Let set for 4 hours.
  • Cut into cubes with a greased knife, or use a greased cookie cutter to cut into shapes.

Notes

Combine the water and gelatin before you start the rest of the process. It needs time to sit before you start mixing it. This process is called blooming which softens the gelatin so that it will dissolve more easily when the other ingredients are added.
Marshmallows are best stored in an airtight plastic or glass container, not in a zip-top bag.
