Yield 20 to 24 large marshmallows
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Spray a 9-by-12-inch pan with cooking spray, then place a layer of parchment paper cut to size on top. Spray the top of the parchment so it is coated lightly.
- Pour 1/2 cup cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder on top and stir well. Let stand for at least 3 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the water.
- Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, honey and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan and heat to 250 degrees F. The syrup will thicken and be boiling. Pour the syrup into the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand to cool down to 212 degrees F; this happens fairly quickly.
- Microwave the gelatin mixture for 30 seconds to a minute or until the gelatin is completely melted but not over 135 degrees F.
- Add the melted gelatin mixture to the cooked syrup. Place the bowl on the mixer with a whip attachment and whip on high, stopping after about 7 minutes to add the vanilla, until the mixture gets white and fluffy, 8 to 10 minutes. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Oreos®. Scrape the mixture out into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 2 cups of crushed Oreos®. Set aside to allow the marshmallows to set up, a couple of hours.
- Cut the marshmallows and toss in a 50/50 cornstarch-confectioners' sugar mixture to prevent them from sticking back together. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

TOASTED COCONUT MARSHMALLOW SQUARES
We often see the marshmallow as a hot chocolate topper, but you will soon discover that these delicious coconut treats deserve to be served solo. These pillow-y squares are surrounded by tasty toasted coconut. These can be made 1 month ahead and stored between sheets of parchment paper in an air tight container, in a cool dry place. To avoid stickiness, try to make on a dry day. Special Equipment Needed: a 9" square metal baking pan, a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and a candy thermometer.

Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Stale marshmallows will not melt as well and will result in a grainy texture.
- Do not overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will become tough and chewy.
- If you are using a microwave to melt the marshmallows, be sure to do so in short intervals, stirring in between. This will prevent the marshmallows from overheating and becoming scorched.
- Add your desired flavorings and mix-ins after the marshmallows have melted. This will prevent the flavorings from burning.
- Press the marshmallow mixture firmly into the prepared pan. This will help to prevent the squares from crumbling.
- Allow the marshmallow squares to cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help to prevent the squares from sticking to the knife.
