Mix 3 1/2 envelopes of gelatin with a half cup of water and let stand (this will become hard).
In the meantime, put half cup water in a saucepan with 1 cup corn syrup and 1 cup granulated sugar. Heat to 190 degrees then mix with hard gelatin and beat with hand mixer until tripled in size.
Next, beat 2 eggs with hand mixer (clean the sugar off first) until doubled in size. Add this to sugar mixture & beat until just mixed.
Add mixture to oiled pan. You should also generously sprinkle pan with powdered sugar so the marshmellows don't stick. Once poured in, sprinkle more powdered sugar on top. Use a generous amount.
Chill for 3 hours in the fridge and then cut into cubes and enjoy!
I've been looking forward to having a bonfire so we can make smores but it's been too dang hot out. These do toast up nicely though with a lighter, or even over a gas stovetop burner.

I stopped eating marshmallows because of the gelatin and what it's made of.
You might find this list about ingredients interesting:

Think I might have to give those graham crackers a try though. In fact, I had bookmarked smitten kitchen's poptarts some time back and have yet to try them. Must do so soon.
