Fruit-Flavor Marshmallows image

A fun thing to do with kids. The marshmallows can be any flavor you want -- as long as jello comes in that flavor! An electric mixer is a must for this recipe, unless you have great stamina and patience!

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (3 ounce) package Jello gelatin, any flavor
1/2 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
