Peanut Butter and Jelly Marshmallows



These fluffy marshmallows combine the classic flavors of peanut butter and jelly in a delightful treat. Perfect for snacking or adding to your favorite desserts!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin about 2
  • 5 tbsp
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup jelly or jam your choice of flavor
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water

Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves

Insert a candy thermometer and heat to 240F 115C

While the sugar mixture is heating, in a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water

Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom

Once the sugar mixture reaches 240F 115C, remove it from heat

Slowly pour it into the bloomed gelatin, stirring continuously until the gelatin dissolves completely

In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar-gelatin mixture on high speed until it becomes thick and fluffy, about 10-12 minutes

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds until it's slightly softened

Fold the peanut butter into the marshmallow mixture until well combined

In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cornstarch

Grease a 9x9-inch 23x23 cm baking dish and dust it with the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture, leaving some for later

Pour half of the marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly

Drop spoonfuls of jelly or jam onto the marshmallow mixture in the dish

Swirl it gently with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect

Pour the remaining marshmallow mixture on top and spread it evenly over the jelly layer

Dust the top with the remaining powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture

Let the marshmallows set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or overnight

Once set, cut the marshmallows into squares or desired shapes and roll them in more powdered sugar to prevent sticking

Enjoy your homemade Peanut Butter and Jelly Marshmallows!
