Mexican chocolate is a solid disk of bittersweet chocolate flavored with cinnamon. It's commonly available at ethnic markets or most major supermarkets. Ingredients:
2 medium apples |
5 large marshmallows, 1 quartered, 4 halved crosswise |
1 ounce mexican chocolate, coarsely chopped |
2 ounces unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve each apple lengthwise. Using a melon baller or grapefruit spoon, scoop out seeds, forming a small crater in center of each half.
2. Fill each crater with 1 marshmallow quarter and 1/4 of the chocolate. Cut 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, and divide among apples, placing over chocolate.
3. Place water and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a baking dish. Place filled apples in dish. Bake until a paring knife inserted into apples meets no resistance, 20-30 minutes.
4. Set oven to broil. Top each apple half with 2 marshmallow halves. Broil until golden brown. Drizzle with juices.
