Chocolate Cherry Almond Marshmallow Treats Recipes

CHERRY MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
• Add 1/2 cup cold water to the bowl of a stand mixer and add unflavored gelatin. Set aside to soften.
• Combine remaining 1/2 cup water, sugar, corn syrup, cherry gelatin, and almond extract in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Heat the mixture to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer immersed in the mixture reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Watch carefully that syrup doesn't boil over; reduce heat if necessary.
• Slowly pour syrup into the softened gelatin in the stand mixer bowl. Beat on low speed, then increase to medium-high and beat until marshmallow mixture has tripled in size. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top using a rubber spatula. Set marshmallow mixture aside and let stand, uncovered, 8 hours to overnight.
• Dust a large cutting board with about 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Loosen sides of marshmallow mixture from the baking dish, lift out onto the cutting board, and rub additional powdered sugar on top. Spray a sharp knife with cooking spray and cut marshmallows into 1-inch squares, 11 rows by 7 rows.
• Toss marshmallows in a large bowl with remaining confectioners' sugar. Shake off excess sugar and transfer marshmallows to an airtight container.

MARSHMALLOW TREATS

Steps:

• Melt butter in large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and well-blended. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Add cereal. Stir until well coated.
• Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly and firmly in buttered 13 x 9 inch pan. Cut into 2 x 2 inch squares when cool.

CHOCOLATE-MARSHMALLOW TREATS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or wax paper. Place crackers, upside down on baking sheet. Spray a 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop with nonstick cooking spray and top each cracker with 1 scoop of Marshmallow Fluff. Transfer to freezer until frozen, 2 to 3 hours.
• In a medium heatproof bowl, set over (but not touching) simmering water, melt chocolate and oil, mixing until combined; remove from heat. Remove crackers from freezer and coat marshmallows with a thick layer of chocolate mixture. Place on a baking sheet and return to freezer; freeze until chocolate is set, overnight.
• Transfer marshmallow treats to a resealable plastic bag. Marshmallow treats can be kept frozen for up to 1 month. To serve, thaw marshmallow treats in refrigerator; keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

GRIZZLY CHOCOLATE TREATS

Steps:

• Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Add the butter, marshmallows, and cocoa powder to a large saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir until melted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cereal until combined. Press into the buttered baking dish. Drizzle with the melted white chocolate. Let cool, and then cut into bars.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND TREATS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch, square baking pan with heavy-duty foil, folding the foil over the edges of the pan.
• Put butter in pan and melt in oven. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla; stir to mix.
• Add cereal and stir with a spoon, then mix with fingers until thoroughly coated. Place waxed paper on top and press down gently but firmly.
• Bake for 25 minutes until entire surface is bubbly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and let stand for chips to soften.
• Spread chips, then sprinkle with almonds, pressing gently into chocolate. Let cool until just warm, then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight before cutting.
• Using foil as a lifter, remove from pan and, without inverting (almond would peel off), peel off foil. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
