Ingredients

• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups dark or milk chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the mini marshmallows into a freezer-safe tray or dish and freeze for about 15-20 minutes until firm. This will make them easier to work with.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat to prevent burning.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly to a thick but pourable consistency.

Step 4

Using a fork or skewer, dip each frozen marshmallow into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Step 5

Place the coated marshmallows on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

If desired, immediately sprinkle or roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Step 7

Repeat until all marshmallows are coated and garnished.

Step 8

Refrigerate the tray for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 9

Serve these delightful Marshmallow Truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
