Delicious marshmallow treats, Minty Mallow Melts have a rich chocolatey crunch, a festive touch of crushed peppermint candies, and a refreshing hint of mint. These candies are ideal for parties during the holidays or whenever you're in the mood for something sweet and minty.
Ingredients: 3 cups of mini marshmallows. 1/4 cup of butter. 1 teaspoon of mint extract. 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint candies. Green food coloring optional. Cooking spray.
Instructions: Melt the butter in big microwave-safe bowls, 30 seconds at a time, until melted. Once the mini marshmallows are melted and puffed, stir them in and microwave for a further 30 seconds. For a minty green hue, feel free to add a few drops of green food coloring and mix thoroughly. To give it a revitalizing mint flavor, mix in the mint extract. Make sure the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies are mixed evenly into the marshmallow mixture by folding them in. Grease a baking pan with cooking spray, just enough to coat it. Using a spatula, spread the minty marshmallow mixture evenly in the baking pan that has been greased. For decoration, add a few more crushed peppermint candies on top. Let the mixture settle for one to two hours at room temperature. After it sets, use cookie cutters to cut the marshmallow slab into interesting shapes or slice it into bite-sized squares. Enjoy the chocolatey, minty goodness of your Minty Mallow Melts after serving them!
