Grandma Corbridge's Wonder Marshmallows

Happy Easter to all the PEEPS! I know I promised this recipe a while ago and now here it is in all it's glory! This recipe is courtesy of my husband's grandmother Millie Corbridge Smith. I was told that she loved to make candy and other sweets. This is a marshmallow recipe that I have tried only once, but it was really good and very gooey. Wonder Marshmallows Mix in a small pan 1/2c sugar and 1 package Knox gelatin, then add 1/3c cold water; place on stove over low heat and stir until gelatin dissolves. Put 1t vanilla and 2/3c white corn syrup in a large bowl and add gelatin mixture; beating on high speed for 15 minutes or until mixture looks like marshmallows. Pour into a shallow buttered pan and let stand 1 hour. Loosen from edges and turn out on crushed graham cracker crumbs; you can sprinkle more on top if you like. Cut into squares. I remember putting the final pan in the fridge to help the cooling process. Imagine what this would taste like with toasted coconut flakes or your favorite cookie crumbs instead of the graham crackers! I tried to keep the recipe just as Grandma Corbridge wrote it so I'm sorry if it's not as a regular recipe is written. That's half the fun of trying old family recipes!
