Ingredients
  

Gelatin Mixture for Marshmallows:
  • 1 ¼ tablespoons unflavored gelatin approximately 1 ½ individual packs
  • ¼ cup cold water
Sugar Mixture for Marshmallows:
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon good quality vanilla
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers crushed
Smores Chocolates:
  • 2 sleeves graham crackers crushed (for coating), about 3 to 4 cups
  • Melted chocolate amount will vary depending on how thick the chocolate is at melting point

Method
 

Preparing the Gelatin Mixture:
  1. In a stand mixer, pour ¼ cup of cold water.
  2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water, allowing it to soften for at least 10 minutes.
Creating the Sugar Mixture:
  1. Combine water, corn syrup, salt, and sugar in a medium-sized pot, ensuring sugar is poured into the pot's center to prevent sugar crystals from sticking to the sides.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes or until the mixture reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Making the Marshmallow Center:
  1. Prepare a 9x13 pan by pressing an aluminum foil sling into it. Lightly spray the foil with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Break up the gelatin in the stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment.
  3. Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture over the gelatin while the mixer runs on a slow speed. Aim to pour between the bowl and whisk.
  4. Once combined, increase the mixer speed to high and whip the mixture for 6-8 minutes. The mixture will turn white, fluffy, and gain a shiny texture.
  5. Reduce the mixer's speed, adding in vanilla and a sleeve of crushed graham crackers.
  6. Whip again on high speed for another 2 minutes.
  7. Quickly pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring a smooth surface. As the mixture cools, it sets rapidly, making it harder to smoothen.
  8. Allow the mixture to set at room temperature for 4-6 hours or freeze for 30-45 minutes.
  9. Optionally, lightly sprinkle powdered sugar on the marshmallow surface to prevent sticking.
  10. Once set, extract the marshmallow block from the pan. Using a greased chef’s knife, carve the marshmallow into ½-inch cubes.
  11. Dip each marshmallow cube into melted chocolate, ensuring a full coat. Immediately roll it in the crushed graham crackers.
  12. Place the coated marshmallow cubes on a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper to cool.
  13. Once set, store in an airtight container. These treats are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in a cool, dry place for several weeks.

Notes

Marshmallow Pops: For a fun twist, slice the marshmallow into larger squares. Insert a sucker stick or pretzel rod into each square. After refrigerating for an hour, dip each pop into melted chocolate and coat with graham crackers.
