Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add chocolate chips and butter to the glass bowl, stirring gently and continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent marshmallows from completely melting.
- Fold in chopped walnuts, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the melted chocolate.
- Add mini marshmallows and fold carefully, ensuring they are partially coated but not fully submerged to maintain their texture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Lift the candy out of the pan using parchment paper edges and cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
