Big storm? S'more please!

In solidarity with my friends and family in the mid-Atlantic this past, blizzardy weekend, I figured it was time to snuggle up by the fire at the farmette. And what better thing to make than s'mores? I've been wanting to make marshmallows, so once I found unflavored gelatin at the store, off I went to the kitchen with a bottle of corn syrup, some sugar, and vanilla. The doctor and I stirred, and the first batch failed miserably since the sugar mixture was far too hot. But the second time round, it worked like a charm, and an hour after they set, we had marshmallows! Granted, ours were square and not as stiff as commercially made marshmallows, but they still melted just right in the fire and made delicious s'mores. (Between us, the gamer and my dearest, we did some damage to 'em.) Then we had to deal with the resulting sugar rush with a round of Rock Band: Beatles.
