MARSHMALLOW FLUFF RECIPE:
1 cup cold water, divided
1 tsp gelatin
2 1/2 cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
Place 1/4 cup of the water in a small mixing bowl, and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Mix them together and set it aside for ten minutes, to firm (or swell) up.
In a saucepan, place the remaining water, sugar, and salt. Give that a mix and bring it up to medium-high heat and cook, occasionally swirling the pot gently, until the syrup registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer or about 7 minutes, if you don't have a thermometer.
Once the gelatin has sat for ten minutes, add it to the bowl of a stand mixer (or a bowl with your hand mixer). Then, carefully pour the hot syrup over the gelatin mixture, and whip on medium low speed for 2 minutes. Increase the speed to high, and continue to whip until the sauce becomes thick, shiny, and white, about ten minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract about half way through the whisking process. Add to a large mason jar and refrigerate.
