Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water (divided)
- 2 1/4 tsp gelatin powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
- In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with 1/2 cup cold water and let it bloom for five minutes.
