Equipment
- Stand mixer
- Candy thermometer
- 8x8 square baking dish
- 2-quart saucepan
Ingredients
- ½ cup powdered sugar divided
- 3 tablespoon agar powder
- 1 cup cold water divided
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper and dust with ¼ cup powdered sugar.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, sprinkle 3 tablespoons agar powder over ½ cup cold water. Slowly mix until agar powder has dissolved.
- In a large saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup water with 2 cups sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 240°F.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer to the stand mixer. Beat on high speed until the mixture is thick, about 10-15 minutes. Mix in ½ teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Transfer to the prepared baking pan immediately and let sit uncovered for at least 12 hours. Once the tops are completely dry, place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, lift marshmallows out of the pan and slice into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, clean knife. Coat each marshmallow with remaining ¼ cup powdered sugar.
