Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups dark or milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the mini marshmallows into a freezer-safe tray or dish and freeze for about 15-20 minutes until firm. This will make them easier to work with.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat to prevent burning.
Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly to a thick but pourable consistency.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each frozen marshmallow into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, immediately sprinkle or roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Repeat until all marshmallows are coated and garnished.
Refrigerate the tray for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve these delightful Marshmallow Truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
