Method
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the Marshmallows: Place the 8 large marshmallows on the baking sheet in a single layer, spaced out evenly.
Cooking
- Toast the Marshmallows: Bake for about 5-6 minutes, monitoring closely to ensure they turn golden brown without burning.
- Set Aside the Toasted Marshmallows: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Combine Water and Sugar: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat.
- Add Toasted Marshmallows: Scrape the toasted marshmallows into the saucepan with the water and sugar.
- Heat and Whisk: Continue heating over medium heat, whisking until the marshmallows and sugar dissolve into a syrupy mixture, about a few minutes.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Remove from heat and whisk in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Cool the Syrup: Allow the syrup to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Store the Syrup: Transfer the syrup into a bottle or jar and refrigerate. It can last for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Keep an eye on the marshmallows while toasting to avoid burning. Shake the syrup bottle before each use and discard if there are any off smells or colors.
