Chocolate-covered Strawberries and Marshmallows
 
How to dip the fruit and candy into tempered chocolate, decorate, and finally set the chocolate.
Ingredients
For dipping:
  • 20 Strawberries
  • 10 Marshmallows
  • 2 standard chocolate bars (milk, white, or dark)
  • 1 standard chocolate bar, optional for drizzling (milk, white, or dark)
Method
Prepare the dessert:
  1. Wash and dry strawberries with a paper towel, and leave them out to dry completely. Melt ⅔ of milk/white chocolate over a bain-marie at medium-low heat stirring constantly until it reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit or dark chocolate until 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the chocolate off the bain-marie and stir in the other third of the melting chocolate, and let it cool until it reaches 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the bowl on the pot for ten seconds, take it off, stir. Repeat until the chocolate reaches 87 degrees Fahrenheit, then dip strawberries and marshmallows and place on parchment paper to harden, and later in the fridge to store.
