These salted caramel marshmallows are my go to treat when I want something special but don't have all day to make it. With just 45 minutes from start to finish, you can have homemade marshmallows that taste like they came from a fancy candy shop. What I love most is how the flaky sea salt cuts through the sweetness, and the gelatin actually supports joint health while giving these pillowy clouds their perfect texture. They're surprisingly simple to make with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, and honestly, once you taste them warm and gooey, store bought marshmallows will never compare.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 50ml of water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Tip: Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
Tip: Don't stir the mixture during this time, as it can cause the formation of crystals.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the butter, glycerin, and salt. The mixture will bubble up again, so be cautious.
Tip: If the mixture starts to boil, quickly return it to the heat and cook for another minute.

Let the mixture cool slightly, until it reaches 225°F (110°C). Then, add the gelatin and stir until it has dissolved.
Tip: Be patient, as this step can take a few minutes.

Pour the mixture into a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed for 5 minutes, or until it has doubled in volume.
Tip: This step is crucial, as it will help incorporate air and create a light, fluffy texture.

Add the marshmallow fluff, caramel sauce, and flaky sea salt to the mixer. Beat on high speed for another 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in desired shapes.

Let the marshmallows cool and set on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes. Then, peel off the parchment paper and package the marshmallows in an airtight container.
