Description

Chocolate-dipped chocolate marshmallows. From Cupid to you.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MARSHMALLOWS:
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Light (clear) Corn Syrup
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Cool Water, Divided Use
  • 2-½ teaspoons Gelatin Granules
  • 2 Tablespoons Special Dark Cocoa Powder (see Note) Plus Extra If Needed For Cutting The Marshmallows
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE COATING:
  • ½ cups Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1-½ teaspoon Coconut Oil

Preparation

First, line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or foil (allow the foil to hang over two sides of the pan, for easy removal later). Spray with cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/3 of the water. Clip on a candy thermometer, and turn the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, and continue to cook until it reaches 238 F.

Meanwhile, add another 1/3 of the water to a medium bowl, and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it sit to dissolve for 5 minutes.

Next, in a small dish, add the last 1/3 of the water and microwave for 25 seconds, until hot. Remove from the microwave carefully, and then whisk in the cocoa powder. Stir the cocoa powder and water mixture into the gelatin.

Once the hot sugar is at the proper temperature, begin to slowly stream it into the gelatin mixture while continuously beating with a hand mixer on medium-high. Be careful not to pour the hot molten sugar near the sides of the bowl because it will stick and harden immediately.

Beat the mixture for 10 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla last. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan, and let it set for at least 3 hours.

To serve, lift the parchment paper or foil out of the pan, and cut the marshmallows into squares with a well-greased knife. Grease the knife between each cut. If the marshmallows are too sticky, roll them in extra cocoa powder.

If dunking in chocolate: place the marshmallows in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium heat in 30 second pulses until melted, stirring between each pulse. Stir until chocolate is evenly melted and smooth.

Remove the marshmallows from the freezer, and dunk half of each marshmallow in the melted chocolate. Place each marshmallow back on the sheet, and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 5 minutes.

Note: You can substitute regular unsweetened cocoa powder for the Special Dark cocoa powder.

Thanks for posting this……I think they will be a perfect compliment to the batch of hot chocolate mix I was going to whip up and ship out to my daughters for Valentines Day!
