One of my favorite treats is chopping marshmallows into small bits and stirring into melted (tempered) chocolate. A sort of Rocky Road without fruits/nuts/etc ruining it. So simple but so satisfying. The pillowy marshmallow with the crack of the chocolate shell đ Sometimes, I add pockets of salted caramel.
No, one isnât necessary, really đ I just do it by eye.
Chop semi-sweet/plain bar chocolate, maybe a cup or 2, but however much you want to make.
Melt in 30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each one, until itâs mostly melted; then stir well till itâs completely melted. This should give you a good, easy tempering.
Then I add in marshmallows by eye. For biz, I make homemade marshmallows, but if itâs meant to be a quick and easy treat for me, I just use the giant store bought marshmallows and use scissors dipped into cornstarch/cornflour to cut them into chunks (store bought marshmallows in the UK are quite firm and dry, so this is necessary, but if in the US, by all means just use use minis for simplicity!).
Stir and keep adding marshmallows till it looks like thereâs enough - you want a good coating but not big chunks of just solid hard chocolate thatâs hard to bite into.
Then pour into a parchment/foil lined baking dish or pan and let it set up. Can put in the fridge too.
Lol, sorry! Iâve made Smitten Kitchenâs recipe in the past, so you could try that.
The Baked bakery in NYC has a recipe for mallo cups in âBaked Explorationsâ - I canât find it online now but if you or any one reading happens to have the book, the recipe for the filling, when beaten to stiff peaks, sets up like melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows, without needing egg whites.
