By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 3 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup Baileys
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cups light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Confectioners' sugar for dredging
• baking spray

Preparation

Step 1

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, sprinkle gelatin over baileys. Let sit for 10 minutes. In a medium sauce pan, heat sugar, corn syrup, salt and water over medium heat and stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Allow mixture to boil violently for about one minute, then turn heat off.

2. Slowly pour hot syrup (be careful, its HOT) into baileys mixture and turn mixer on high. Add the vanilla and beat for 12-15 minutes, until mixture has thickened and cooled.

3. Line a 9x9 inch dish with greased plastic wrap and dust with confectioners sugar. Evenly pour the marshmallow into the pan, dust with more confectioners sugar, and cover with plastic wrap. Let marshmallows sit overnight.

4. Uncover and flip marshmallow block onto a work surface dusted with confectioners sugar. Using a clean pair of kitchen scissors, cut into equal 1.5" cubes. Coat remaining sides of marshmallows in confectioners sugar and tap to remove excess. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
