What is better than chocolate, marshmallows and salt? Excellent combination, but add in toffee and you have a slice of heaven. Try these - you will fall in love:
You will need these four ingredients (five if you use graham crackers as well as toffee bits):
Did you know you can now find marshmallows in different sizes, shapes and flavors? These are chocolate and medium sized. They are not the large and not the tiny. I thought I would try them to see if the ratio of marshmallow to chocolate works. I think the large ones are too much marshmallow for too small of an amount of chocolate. And I use the Heath toffee bits as a coating instead of graham crackers - different taste all together.
As you are melting your chocolate wafers in your magical melting pot (see earlier blog),
start poking the pretzel sticks into the marshmallows. It is easier if you do all this before beginning to dip and coat...
When your chocolate is melted, dip each marshmallow on a stick into the chocolate, gently swirling the coated piece on the inside of the pot to remove excess chocolate and then dip into a bowl of toffee bits.
I find it is better not to twirl the coated marshmallow around in the bits as this causes the chocolate to fall off. Instead, I make a small well in the center of the bits, put the marshmallow in the hole and with my other hand, press the bits onto the still warm chocolate. They adhere nicely and don't drop odd bits of chocolate into the mixture. Place onto a piece of waxed paper to dry and then enjoy.
Yes, you can certainly use graham crackers instead of the toffee bits for a more "traditional" s'more taste. I crush my crumbs quite small so they stick better.
ENJOY!
For some reason, we call these "Turkey Legs" at my house...
