Ingredients

  • water
    1 c
  • granulated sugar
    1 c
  • miniature marshmallows
    2 c
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • salt
    1 pinch

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is starting to thicken slightly, 10-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the syrup is simmering, arrange the miniature marshmallows in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until well toasted.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat on the simmering syrup to low and scrape in the toasted marshmallows. Whisk until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. Do not stir at this point to allow the syrup to separate.

  5. 5

    Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, whisk in the vanilla extract and small pinch of salt, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
