Chocolate Marshmallow Candy Recipe
Chocolate Marshmallow Candy
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate coarsely chopped (I used Ghirardelli 60%)
- 4 ounces milk chocolate coarsely chopped (I used Hershey's)
- 1 jar Jet-Puffed Marshmallow
- Creme and decorative mini baking cups
- Double layer mini baking cups on a sheet pan. (Doubling the cups helps the chocolate cups maintain their shape)
Instructions
-
Step one: set-up a water bath for the chocolates. Combine chocolates in a heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let water touch bottom of the bowl), and stir with a rubber spatula until the chocolates have completely melted. The mixture should be smooth.
-
Step two: Remove bowl from the saucepan and stir chocolate mixture about 15-20 seconds to release excess heat. With a small spoon, carefully fill the candy cups with about a tablespoon of chocolate. Using the spoon or a pastry brush, brush the chocolate from the bottom of each cup up the sides to completely cover the inside of the cup. Gently tap the sheet pan on the counter to level the chocolate. Place the cups in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden, about 15 minutes. Set the remaining melted chocolate aside.
-
Step three: Remove candy cups from the fridge. Using two spoons, fill each cup with about half a tablespoon of marshmallow creme. You can be as liberal as you want with the creme, just make sure it doesn't reach the top of the cup. It does get sticky, thus the use of two spoons. The creme will begin to spread out on the cup bottoms the longer it is kept at room temperature (this is ok). Then spoon a top layer of chocolate onto the marshmallow filling to completely cover it. Gently tap the pan again and place in the fridge to completely set about 20 minutes.

I’ve made homemade peanut butter cups, and this is even easier! I’ll definitely have to make a batch!
I absolutely adore these! Plus, only three steps? You just can’t go wrong with that.
Such a great idea!
these are amazing! looks so good!
mmm, I need these in my life!
I love these! I really want to share them on my blog, if that’s okay.I will link back to your site for the directions.
They probably taste ever better then rices pieces.
This would be really good with graham crackers on the bottom of the cups.
Then you would have s’more cups!
Have been thinking to do some sort of filled chocolate cups, wasn’t sure if the marshmallow creme would do okay being refrigerated. But this recipe totally helped! Thanks for the idea. :)
