Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
- 24 pieces Large marshmallows
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
Break each graham cracker sheet in half to create 24 squares. Lay 12 squares flat on the prepared baking sheet and reserve the remaining 12 for the tops.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second increments), melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and the salt until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Place the large marshmallows on top of each of the 12 graham cracker squares on the baking sheet. Using a kitchen torch or broiler, toast the marshmallows until golden and slightly puffed. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
Immediately sandwich each marshmallow with a second graham cracker square, gently pressing down to secure them together. Allow them to set for a few minutes.
Dip each marshmallow sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate mixture, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place the dipped sandwiches back onto the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies or candy canes over the chocolate-coated part of each sandwich while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the sandwiches to cool and set completely. You can refrigerate them for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallow Sandwiches! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
