These adorable pink homemade marshmallow lollipops are a delightful treat. They are a delightful and entertaining party favor or snack.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 4 packets 1 oz each unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pink food coloring
• Lollipop sticks
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, 1 cup of water, and corn syrup

Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves

Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and cook without stirring until it reaches 240F 115C

This is the soft-ball stage

While the sugar syrup is cooking, bloom the gelatin in 1 cup of cold water

Stir and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens

Once the sugar syrup reaches 240F 115C, remove it from heat and carefully pour it into the bloomed gelatin

Be cautious as it may bubble up

Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes thick and fluffy

This may take about 10-15 minutes

Add vanilla extract and a few drops of pink food coloring to the marshmallow mixture

Beat until well incorporated and you achieve the desired color

Prepare a lollipop mold or line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Dust with powdered sugar

Using a greased spatula, transfer the marshmallow mixture to the prepared mold or baking sheet, spreading it evenly

Insert lollipop sticks into the marshmallow mixture before it sets

Let it sit at room temperature for a few hours or until it's completely set

Once the marshmallow has set, you can remove it from the mold or cut it into lollipop shapes if you used a baking sheet

Dust the marshmallow lollipops with additional powdered sugar to prevent sticking
