Best 5 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Marshmallows Recipes

AMY'S CHOCOLATE COVERED, HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOW DIPPED STRAWBERRIES!

Steps:

• 1. Wash strawberries and let dry completely. If they are not all the way dry the marshmallow will not stick.
• 2. spred out and lightly greas enough wax paper to place strawberries on after they are dipped.
• 3. In a larg mixing bowl (I use my kitchen aid mixer bowl) sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water; set aside.
• 4. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining water. Bring to a boil, stiring occasionally. Cook without strring, until a candy thermometer reads 240* (soft-ball sstage)
• 5. Remove from heat and gradully add to gelatin in small stream while beating. Beat on high speed until mixture is thick and the volume has doubled, about 15minuts, it should look like marshmallow cream, beat in vanilla extract. Start next step immediately
• 6. Either buy holding on to the stem or by inserting a wood or bamboo skewers into the stem end carefully dip in marshmallow then set on wax paper. work quicky marshmallow will start to set kinda fast.
• 7. When you are done dipping the strawberries in the mashmallow let them set for about 45min to and hour to let set up a little. There will probably be marshmallow remaining I drop it by spoon full onto the greased wax paper, then toss in powdered sugar (some times I add cocoa power to it) when set up, and store in an air tight container. I like to play around with the extra! You can try all sorts of fun stuff!
• 8. After strawberries with marshmallows have set up a little melt chocolate almond bark or just chocolate in microwave or double boiler. If you are in a hurry I would use almond bark, it sets up way faster then real chocolate. Dip strawberries in chocolate far enough so you can just see the marshmallow peaking out. return to wax paper and allow chocolate to harden.
• 9. Peal strawberries from wax paper and serve! I like to sprinkl with a little powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED BERRY MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• To Make Ahead: Store airtight, without touching (or in paper candy cups) in a single layer with wax paper underneath, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Chocolate-and-berry-flavored marshmallows are delectable-even addictive-and these surprisingly easy candies make a great gift or special treat.
• Line an 8-inch-square baking dish with wax paper, allowing it to overhang two opposing sides by about 1 inch. Thoroughly coat the paper with cooking spray; the marshmallow will stick to any uncoated areas.
• Sprinkle gelatin over juice concentrate in a small bowl; let stand, stirring once or twice, until the gelatin softens, about 6 minutes. Stir together sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring. Stir in the gelatin mixture and vanilla and return to a boil, stirring. Boil for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and continue stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves.
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer (using a whisk attachment if possible), gradually raising the mixer speed from low to high, until the mixture is thickened, lightened in color and greatly increased in volume, 5 to 7 minutes. (It's better to overbeat than underbeat.) Beat in food color (if using).
• Scrape the marshmallow into the prepared dish, using a rubber spatula coated with cooking spray. Spread evenly to the edges. Thoroughly coat a second sheet of wax paper with cooking spray and pat it down on the marshmallow surface. Set aside until the mixture cools and firms up, about 4 hours. Transfer to the freezer for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours before cutting.
• To cut the marshmallows, sift about a third of the confectioners' sugar onto a large clean cutting board. Peel off the top sheet of wax paper, then invert the chilled slab onto the sugar. Remove the pan and peel off the second sheet of wax paper. Sift about a third of the remaining sugar over the top. Using a large, sharp, lightly oiled knife, trim off the uneven edges all around. Mark, then evenly cut the slab lengthwise and crosswise into eighths to make 64 squares. Generously dust all the cut surfaces of the marshmallows with more sugar to keep them from sticking together. Clean off and re-oil the knife as needed. Cover and return the marshmallows to the freezer until chilled, about 45 minutes.
• To dip the marshmallows, line 2 baking sheets or trays with nonstick foil (or coat regular foil with cooking spray). Place chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. (Alternatively, see "No Microwave?" below.) Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 30 seconds, until mostly melted. Stir until the remaining chocolate melts completely. If the chocolate seems a little thick for dipping the marshmallows, stir in oil 1 teaspoon at a time until smooth; microwave on Medium for 15 seconds, then stir again.
• Working with a batch of about 15 marshmallows (keep the remainder in the freezer), submerge them one at a time in the chocolate and use a large dinner fork to turn and coat completely. Lift the marshmallow out with the fork, tapping it against the side of the bowl several times and scraping it against the edge to remove as much excess chocolate as possible. Stir the bowl of chocolate occasionally to keep it blended. If it cools and stiffens at any point, microwave on Medium for 10 seconds, stir well and continue dipping. Place dipped marshmallows on the prepared pan, pushing them off the fork with the tines of another fork if needed. If a pool of chocolate forms around the base of the marshmallows, tap off more excess chocolate as subsequent candies are dipped.
• Refrigerate the dipped marshmallows until the chocolate is thoroughly chilled and firm, at least 1 hour. Gently pry the marshmallows from the foil with a table knife (fingertips will mar the surface). If desired, trim off the uneven edges around the bottom of the marshmallows with a paring knife. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Serve chilled or let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mix combine the butter, all-purpose flour, and salt and beat on medium low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Add the powdered sugar and hazelnut flour and mix on medium-low speed until just combined. With the mixer on medium-low speed add the egg yolks one at a time, waiting for the first yolk to be mixed in before adding the next one.
• Gather the bowl, divide it into two pieces and shape each one in a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Letting it rest will make it easier to roll out. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and use a 1.75-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet and chill them for 20 minutes. Chilling them will ensure that the cookies keep their shape when the bake.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
• If using a half-baking sheet, bake 16 cookies at a time. Even though the cookies don't spread, if there are too many cookies on the baking sheet, the air won't circulate properly and the cookies will take longer to brown.
• Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes until they start to turn brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven and cool to room temperature.
• Before starting the strawberry marshmallow arrange the cookies on a baking tray or cooling rack and have them ready for piping the strawberry marshmallow.
• Add a 3/8 or 1/2-inch tip to an 18-inch pastry bag and stand it up in a tall glass container. Folder over the top to make it easier to add the marshmallow mixture.
• Add 1/2 cup water to a measuring cup and sprinkle 6 teaspoons of gelatin into the water. Stir gently to combine and let the gelatin sit for at least 5 minutes. Combine the sugar, Karo Syrup and 3/4 cup of water in a 2-quart saucepan.
• Place the freeze-dried strawberries in the bowl of food processor and process until it is pulverized. Sift the freeze-dried strawberries to remove the larger pieces. If you do not have a food processor, place the strawberries in a plastic bag and beat it with a rolling pin until the freeze-dried strawberries until pulverized.
• Place the egg whites and the salt to the bowl of stand mixer and beat on medium speed (speed 6 if you are using a Kitchen Aid mixer). Beat the mixture until they have soft peaks. The egg whites may be done before the sugar syrup and that is okay.
• At the same time that you start beating the egg whites, bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Gently stir the ingredients to combine them. Once the mixture comes to a boil, do not stir it. Continue to boil the sugar syrup until it reaches 242°F. It will take about 10 minutes to bring the sugar syrup to temperature. Use a candy thermometer or a Thermoworks instant read thermometer to monitor the temperature.
• When the syrup reaches the temperature of 242°F remove the pan from the heat. Add the gelatin and whisk until the gelatin is completely melted. Increase the mixer speed to high and slowly add the sugar syrup the bowl by pouring it down the side. Once all the sugar syrup is added continue to beat the egg whites until the mixture reaches room temperature which will be 75°F.
• Add the pulverized strawberries and the vanilla extract and mix on high speed until incorporated, about 15 seconds.
• Quickly fill the piping bag about 2/3 full with the marshmallow mixture, twist the top of the bag close. Center the piping tip over the cookie with the bag straight up and down and pipe one round on each cookie than go back and add a second dollop on top of the first one.
• If the marshmallow becomes too thick or rubbery, place the mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water and gently stir it with a silicone spatula until the texture is smooth and feels like it originally did. Continue to pipe the marshmallows.
• Once done, allow the marshmallows to set for 4 hours or overnight.
• Place the chopped chocolate over a pan of simmering water and allow it to melt undisturbed until there are just a few pieces left unmelted. Stir the chocolate with a whisk. When the remaining pieces of chocolate are melted, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time and whisk after each addition until the butter is thoroughly combined with the chocolate. For covering the marshmallows keep the chocolate at 92°F. If it cools too much rewarm it over simmering water.
• Line a two half baking sheets with parchment paper. The chocolate covered marshmallows will be placed on these baking sheets to dry.
• To cover the strawberry marshmallow, place the marshmallow cookie on a chocolate dipping fork. Hold it over the bowl of chocolate glaze and spoon the chocolate over the marshmallow until the marshmallow and cookie are completely covered. Gently place it on parchment lined baking tray. Stop occasionally to sprinkle any toppings on the chocolate while it is still wet.
• Let the chocolate set for 2 hours and enjoy. The chocolate covered marshmallows can sit at room temperature for 2 days and be refrigerated for a week.
