Marshmallows Dipped In Chocolate Recipes

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!

CARAMEL-DIPPED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Fill a glass with ice water and set aside. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and sprinkle it generously with confectioners' sugar; set aside.
• Combine the brown sugar, sorghum and butter in a saucepan over medium. Heat until the butter and sugar melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the condensed milk and bring to a simmer; cook for about 1 minute. Lower the heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer or until a soft ball forms when a spoonful of the caramel is dropped into the glass of ice water, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Skewer the marshmallows and dip them in the caramel so that the sides are covered but the tops are not. Place on the prepared cookie sheet to cool. Before the caramel sets, sprinkle the dipped sides with a little flaky sea salt.
• Serve immediately or wrap each candy in waxed paper to enjoy at a later time--if it's really humid where you are, they won't hold up for long!

CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch.
• Dip the marshmallows in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper or aluminum foil, and freeze. Let marshmallows sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

MARSHMALLOWS DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Heat the chocolate in separate bowls over simmering water or on a low setting in the microwave. Allow to cool a little.
• Put your chosen sprinkles on separate plates. Push a cake pop or lolly stick into a marshmallow about half way in. Dip into the white or milk chocolate, allow the excess to drip off then dip into the sprinkles of your choice. Put into a tall glass to set. Repeat with each marshmallow.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Place the marshmallows in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate set up.

MOMMA REINER'S CHOCOLATE-COVERED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle gelatin over a small bowl filled with 1/2 cup cold water; let stand to soften.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, about 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly add sugar mixture. Add vanilla and continue beating for 10 minutes until the mixture looks like marshmallow.
• Transfer marshmallow mixture to prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Spray a piece of parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray and cover marshmallow. Let stand overnight.
• Remove parchment paper and invert marshmallow onto work surface. Trim 1/4-inch from edges of marshmallow. Cut marshmallows into 1 1/2-inch squares. Pour cornstarch in a bowl; working in batches, gently add marshmallows and toss to coat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Working with 1 marshmallow at a time, insert skewer into a marshmallow and dip in fudge until coated on all sides, removing any excess from bottom of marshmallow; place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining marshmallows (you will have some marshmallows left over). Let chocolate covered marshmallows stand at room temperature overnight before serving or transferring to an airtight container for up to 3 days.

HOMEMADE PEPPERMINT MARSHMALLOWS DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 13x9-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sift the powdered sugar and completely coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the remaining sugar to the bowl for later use. Place the gelatin into the bowl of a stand mixer along with 1/2 cup of the water. In a small saucepan combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240°F, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, immediately remove from the heat. Turn the mixer on low speed and, while running, slowly pour the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the speed to high. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and peppermint extract during the last minute of whipping. While the mixture is whipping prepare the pans as follows. When ready, pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a lightly oiled (or baking spray) off-set (or regular) spatula for spreading evenly into the pan. If adding the red food color, add some random drops and then swirl with a toothpick. Dust the top with enough of the remaining powdered sugar to lightly cover. (Reserve the rest for later.) Cover the pan with foil and shake up, down and sideways. Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. To cut the marshmallows, I had great success with a very sharp knife, sprayed with non-stick spray. Turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board, lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Cut into 1-inch squares using sharp knife, or pizza wheel dusted with confectioners' sugar mixture. Once cut, lightly dust all sides of each marshmallow with the remaining mixture, using additional if necessary. TIP: I cut strips of marshmallow, the placed them back into the baking pan, dusted with extra powdered sugar. I then gently pressed sugar on all of the freshly cut sides, so that they wouldn't be sticky. That technique worked great! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. I bagged a few marshmallows in a clear cellophane bag (ordered on Etsy.com) and tied them with ribbon. They are perfect for hot chocolate. TO COAT IN CHOCOLATE: Cut the chocolate into small chunks and place in a glass bowl, over a pot of simmering water. Do not let the bowl touch the water! Once melted, stir to smooth. Have a baking sheet, covered with wax paper on standby. If using cake pop sticks, dip the stick into the chocolate at about 1/4-inch deep. Carefully plunge the stick into the marshmallow. Dip the bottom of the marshmallow to coat the bottom and slightly up the side. Set on the wax paper. Allow the dipped marshmallows to set for at least at hour. I placed 2 to 3 marshmallows in tall cellophane bags and tied them with a ribbon.

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.
