These cute filled chocolate cups get gobbled up whenever I set them out. The fluffy mint filling pairs well with the chocolate. Ingredients:
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
12 large marshmallows |
1/4 cup whole milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract |
3 drops red or green food coloring |
dash salt |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 tablespoons crushed peppermint and/or spearmint candies, divided |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Brush evenly on the inside of 18 foil miniature muffin cup liners. Refrigerate until set. Add a second coat of chocolate; chill until set.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir marshmallows and milk until marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in the extracts, food coloring and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until thickened.
3. Carefully peel liners from the chocolate cups and discard. In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in marshmallow mixture and 2 tablespoons crushed candies. Spoon into chocolate cups. Sprinkle with remaining candies. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
