Instructions

How to make Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Eggs

  • Pour flour into a deep pan about an inch deep.
  • Use a plastic egg to press an egg shape into the flour. Then set aside your pan.
  • Now make your homemade marshmallows.

How to Make Homemade Marshmallows for Marshmallow Eggs

  • Get out your electric mixer and in the bowl of the electric mixer add in the cold water. Then sprinkle the gelatin on top.
  • Let it sit and soak for 10 minutes.
  • Grab a small sauce pan and combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute.
  • Pour boiling syrup into the gelatin mixture in your electric mixer. Then start your mixer on high speed and carefully add in the salt.
  • Allow the mixture to beat for 12 minutes, then add in the vanilla and allow mixing to incorporate it in to the mixture.
  • Once you are done making your marshmallow mixture, before allowing them too firm up scoop the marshmallow mixture into the flour egg molds you made with a greased spoon.
  • Get your hand wet and pat down the marshmallows to have a flat bottom.
  • Let your chocolate covered marshmallow eggs sit at room temperature for a few hours (2-3 hours) to set up.

Covering Marshmallows in Chocolate

  • Once the marshmallow eggs are set, carefully remove them out of the mold.
  • Using a paper towel dust off the extra flour.
  • Now you are going to melt your chocolate, using a double boiler.
  • If the chocolate is to thick for your liking, you can add a little bit of shorting to help thin it out.
  • Using a fork dip each one into the melted chocolate until they are completely coated.
  • Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove the extra chocolate.
  • Place them on a cooling rack to cool and harden before eating.
