Ingredients

  • 3 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin (.75 oz total)
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup light Karo syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a large bowl. Soak for 10 min.

  2. Meanwhile, combine sugar, syrup and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a rapid boil and boil hard for 1 minute.

  3. Pour sugar mixture over gelatin. Add salt and beat on high for 12 minutes. Mixture will get very thick and almost taffy-like.

  4. Add Baileys and vanilla. Beat until well combined.

  5. Pour mixture into a 9×9 square pan that is lined with oiled plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

  6. Mix corn starch and powdered sugar in a bowl. Dust flat surface with mixture. Remove marshmallow from fridge and turn out onto dusted surface. Using a pizza cutter dipped in cornstarch mixture, cut marshmallow into 1" cubes, dusting all cut sids in the cornstarch mixture to prevent sticking. [A knife really doesn’t work here.]

  7. In bowl, microwave chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted. Dip each marshmallow halfway into the chocolate and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until chocolate is set.

  8. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
