Put sugar and remaining water in sauce pan and bring to a lightly boil for 6 minutes.
Remove from heat, add vanilla and salt. Stir.
Pour the mixture into the gelatin slowly and whip on low for 1 minute to get everything incorporated.
Then whip on high for 7-10 minutes. Trust the process, it really does take that long to get it to what it should look like. (It should turn white and be the texture of marshmallow fluff.)
Spread onto your parchment paper in your 9x13 and let cool 2-4 hours.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut to desired size and enjoy!
