Instructions

Combine the gelatin and only ½ cup of water in a stand-alone mixer, and gently whisk until well combined. Don't beat it during this step. Simply allow it to bloom and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, place the other ½ cup of water with the maple syrup or honey. Bring to a gentle boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
To the bloomed gelatin, slowly add in the maple syrup mixture while whisking on low speed. Add in the peppermint and vanilla extracts, and a pinch of sea salt.
Next on the high-speed setting of your mixture, beat for 10 minutes until the mixture looks like marshmallow fluffy clouds of deliciousness.
Line a 9" by 9" pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray. You can sprinkle the pan with some powdered sugar and arrowroot directly on the parchment paper to keep the marshmallows from being too sticky. This is important if you want to use these homemade marshmallows with no corn syrup for roasting later on.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place into the refrigerator to set for at least 3-5 hours, or best overnight.
After the marshmallows have been set up overnight, slice them into squares. Then you either serve as is or top with crushed candy canes, confectioner's sugar, and a drizzle of melted chocolate or raw cacao nibs.
