- MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE WHISK ATTACHMENT.
- In a medium saucepan combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, remaining ½ cup water and salt.
- Insert a candy thermometer.
- Over medium high heat bring to a boil—continue cooking until the syrup reaches 240° (soft ball stage), with the mixer on low, slowly pour the syrup into the mixer bowl, One speed increase at a time (this to keep the hot sugar in the mixing bowl) quickly work your way up to high.
- Whisk on high 14 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, continue to mix on high 1 minute.
- The mixture should be opaque and tripled in volume.

- Sprinkle cornstarch mixture over the entire surface.
- Moving the mixture around until all of the sides and bottom are coated.
- Turn pan upside down and shake out any excess.

- In a medium bowl whisk together the remaining ¼ cup cornstarch and ¼ cup powdered sugar; set aside.
- Spray an off set spatula with non stick cooking spray.
- Quickly pour and spread marshmallow mixture into prepared pan.
- Sprinkle some of the cornstarch mixture over the top (reserve the rest for later), let the mixture sit without a cover OVERNIGHT.
