2 1/2 tbsp gelatin
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp vanilla
Combine gelatin and 1/2 cup water in the bowl of an electric mixer with wisk attachment. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan. Place over low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Using a candy thermometer, raise heat and cook syrup without stirring, until it reaches 244 degrees. Remove from heat.
With mixer on low speed, slowly pour syrup into gelatin mixture.
Increase to high speed and beat until mixture is very thick and white and has tripled in volume, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla and beat to incorporate.
Pour into non-stick 8x12 inch pan (you can line with parchment paper). Spread smooth and let stand overnight.
Turn out onto board and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
Of course, you could make as thin as you like and cut size as you need. You could also experiment with flavours and coat if you like.
Enjoy, Kristina
