EASY CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOWS!

Steps:

• In a 1-cup glass measure, heat together chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave oven on High about 1½ to 2 minutes, or until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred. Or you may heat in a double boiler(I just place a pan that fits slightly in another pan that has boiling water and stir till melted and smooth).
• Using a fork, dip each marshmallow into chocolate over a cup. Place marshmallows 1 inch apart on a wax paper-lined baking sheet; immediately sprinkle sprinkles or the nuts on top, if using.
• Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, 45 to 60 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS RECIPE

Steps:

• Apply a thin layer of butter or coconut oil on a 8 or 9 inch square pan. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.
• Whisk the confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder and set aside. You will not need to use all of it for the marshmallows.
• Lightly grease a rubber spatula and a small offset spatula with butter or coconut oil - you'll be using these later.
• Place the water in the bowl of your stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and stir to saturate the gelatin.
• Set aside for at least 10 minutes to let the gelatin bloom. By the time the sugar syrup is ready, the gelatin will have bloomed.
• Place the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Add the boiling water and stir until you have a smooth paste.
• Dissolve the instant coffee in the vanilla extract and stir it in with the cocoa paste to get a smooth mixture. Set aside until needed.
• Place the sugar, golden syrup or corn syrup, salt, and water in a saucepan.
• Gently stir to saturate all of the sugar with the water, or make an "x" in the middle of the pot with your fingertip to allow the water to slowly saturate the sugar.
• Heat the sugar mixture over medium high heat. Swirl the pot to make sure the sugar is dissolving in the liquid.
• Brush the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, OR close the pot with the lid and let the sugar syrup simmer for about 1 - 2 minutes. The condensation will help wash down any sugar crystals on the side of the saucepan.
• Cook the sugar syrup further, swirling the pot frequently (do NOT stir), until the syrup temperature reaches 250 - 252°F with a candy thermometer.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit for about 30 - 60 seconds until the bubbles subside.
• Place the mixing bowl (with the bloomed gelatin) in your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. While running the mixer on medium low speed, pour the hot sugar syrup along the side of the bowl. The heat from the syrup will dissolve the gelatin. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, as the syrup is very hot.
• Mix the gelatin and sugar mixture for about 1 minute, and then add the cocoa paste.
• Increase the speed to medium - medium high and mix for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Increase the speed to high (the mixture should be slightly thicker), and whisk for a further 6 - 10 minutes, or until the mixture is ready.
• The mixture is ready when it has doubled in size, and the marshmallow is a pale brown color with a glossy meringue like texture.
• At this point, you should be able to see the marshmallow mix form strings that pull away from the side of the bowl as it's being mixed, and the bowl should still feel a little warm.
• When the marshmallow mix is ready, scrape it all out into the prepared pan using the rubber spatula.
• Working quickly, evenly spread the marshmallow mix in the pan with the offset spatula.
• With a small sieve, sift the mallow mix over the surface of the marshmallow. Make sure the whole surface is coated in a thin, even layer.
• Allow the marshmallow to cure (at room temperature) for at least 6 hours.
• Once the marshmallow is cured, lift it out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Gently peel off the parchment paper from the sides, so it's easier to cut it.
• Cut the marshmallow into the size you prefer. I prefer to cut them into 6 x 6 for 36 pieces.
• Use a clean, dry, sharp knife to cut through the marshmallow, wiping the blade clean between cuts.
• Coat the cut marshmallows with the mallow mix to prevent the sides from being sticky.
• The marshmallows are now ready to be eaten.
• The marshmallows should be stored in an airtight container or jar. Keep them at room temperature. NOT in the fridge or freezer.

CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOW COOKIES

Steps:

• Blend the dry ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until sandy. Add the eggs and mix to combine. Form the dough into a disk, wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. When ready to bake, grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out small rounds of dough, 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pipe a "kiss" of marshmallow onto each cookie. Let set at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment or a nonstick baking mat. One at a time, gently drop the marshmallow-topped cookies into the hot chocolate. Lift out with a fork and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place on the prepared pan and let set at room temperature until the coating is firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Homemade Marshmallows: Combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil until "soft-ball" stage, or 235 degrees on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let dissolve. Remove the syrup from the heat, add the gelatin, and mix. Whip the whites until soft peaks form and pour the syrup into the whites. Add the vanilla and continue whipping until stiff. Transfer to a pastry bag.
• Chocolate Glaze: Melt the 2 ingredients together in the top of a double boiler or a bowl set over barely simmering water.

CHOCOLATE COATED HOME MADE MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/homemade-strawberry-marshmallows-by-jo-anne-sugimoto-sugarnspicetedibears
• Make the marshmallows... let them cool and get a littled hardened and chewier from sitting out for several hours.
• Cut into strips about an inch wide. Tear the strips to desired size (I tear them rather than cut them... they are less uniform and more rustic). Set aside.
• In double boiler: Melt the chocolate until creamy.
• Drop a few pieces of the marshmallows at a time into the melted chocolate. Roll them around to completely coat. (I use a fork to do this, and to scoop them out and tap the inside of the pan to get the excess chocolate off).
• Transfer the coated marshmallows to a wax paper lined baking sheet. Put into the freezer or refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate.
• Leave plain, or garnish with candy sprinkles.
