Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

2 Tbsp plain gelatin

1/4 cup warm water

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cups invert sugar

3/8 cup corn or cane syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

1.   Soak gelatin in cold water; set aside.

2.  In a saucepan, combine water, sugar and invert sugar.

3.  Heat, but do not boil, so that mixture just starts to bubble around the edges, remove from stove.

4.  Pour into a large mixer bowl; add gelatin, corn syrup and vanilla slowly and whip until white and doubled in bulk.

5.  Pour finished mixture into a oiled pan, or oiled candy molds, etc.

6.  Let stand 24 hours, cut in squares.

Ideas: Cut and roll in coconut, dip shapes in chocolate, etc... To form bunnies and chicks, increase gelatin to 3 1/2 tablespoons.
