Instructions
Prepare your pan: Start by greasing a 9×13-inch pan with a little vegetable oil or cooking spray. Dust the bottom and sides with a generous layer of powdered sugar.
Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin, letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
Make the sugar syrup: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of water. Stir until sugar dissolves, then let it boil until it reaches 240°F.
Combine and beat: Once the sugar mixture hits 240°F, remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Pour into a mixing bowl and beat on high for 10-15 minutes until thick and glossy. Add vanilla, peppermint extract, salt, and optional coloring.
