Chocolate Marshmallow Wheels Recipes

Steps:

• Before you start baking, make space in your freezer for a tray of biscuits. Now, make the biscuits. Put the butter and icing sugar in a large bowl, mash together with a wooden spoon then beat until smooth. Add the egg yolk, vanilla, milk, flour and a pinch of salt, and mix again. Tip onto your work surface and knead briefly until evenly mixed. Wrap in cling film, pat into a disc and chill for 20 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Dust the surface with a little flour, unwrap the dough and roll to about 1/2cm thickness. Use a 6cm cookie cutter to stamp out as many discs as you can, then re-roll the trimmings to cut out more - you should get about 30 in total. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 10-12 mins, swapping the trays over halfway through. Cool on a wire rack.
• Flip all the biscuits over so the base is now facing up. Transfer the marshmallow fluff to a piping bag fitted with a plain round nozzle. Dollop 1 tsp jam in the middle of half the biscuits, make sure to leave a border as they will spread once sandwiched. Pipe a large blob of marshmallow fluff on each of the other half of the biscuits. Sandwich the biscuits together, so each has marshmallow fluff and jam in the middle, then freeze for 30 mins to firm up.
• Melt 2/3 of the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave or over a pan of gently simmering water, once melted add the remaining chocolate and stir until its all melted. Remove the tray from the freezer and have a cooling rack to hand, set over a tray to catch any chocolate drips. Dunk each biscuit sandwich into the chocolate so it's completely submerged, then transfer to the cooling rack and leave to set. Eat the biscuits within 3 days.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. , Divide dough in half; add cocoa to one portion. Divide each portion in half. On a baking sheet, roll out each portion between waxed paper into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. , Remove waxed paper. Place one chocolate rectangle over a plain rectangle. Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; wrap in plastic. Repeat with remaining dough. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. , Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
• Combine cereal and crushed pretzels in a large bowl.
• In another large bowl, melt marshmallows and butter in the microwave for 1 minute & 30 seconds, stirring half way. (Time may vary depending on your microwave, so, keep an eye on it!)
• Combine cereal, pretzels and melted marshmallows. Mix well.
• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray generously with non-stick cooking spray. (You might want to spray your hands too!)
• Remove marshmallow mixture from the bowl and place onto the baking sheet. Spray another piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray and lay the sprayed side on top of the marshmallow mixture.
• Roll out with a rolling pin into a thin layer.
• Remove the top layer of parchment paper and evenly spread caramel over the marshmallow mixture. Pour chocolate chips over the caramel.
• Bake for 2 minutes, or until chocolate chips spread easily across the caramel.
• Carefully & tightly roll it up longways, peeling back the parchment paper as you go. Cover in plastic wrap & chill for 2-3 hours, or until it has firmed up nicely.
• Remove plastic wrap and parchment paper, and cut in 1-inch (2 cm) slices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp water in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 2 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup cocoa powder over the hot water, and stir or whisk to dissolve the cocoa.
• Place 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and stir briefly to distribute. Let gelatin sit and dissolve for at least 5 minutes.
• Spoon warm cocoa mixture into gelatin, and stir or mix on low to thoroughly combine.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup of water, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and insert a candy thermometer.
• Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it reaches 240 degrees on the thermometer. Brush down the sides occasionally with a wet pastry brush to avoid crystallization. While the candy cooks, briefly run the mixer on low once or twice to ensure the gelatin and cocoa is well-mixed.
• Once the candy reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the heat immediately. Turn the mixer to low, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the mixer bowl. Be careful, as the syrup is extremely hot. If you have a large (at least 3 cup) liquid measuring cup with a spout, you can transfer the hot syrup to the cup before pouring to make it easier.
• Gradually increase the speed of the mixer until it running on high. Whip the marshmallow mixture for 15-20 minutes, or until it is stiff and shiny. You can tell it is done when you stop the mixer and lift up the beater, the marshmallow will slowly drip back down into the bowl in a thick, shiny stream.
• Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Allow it to sit and firm up at room temperature for at least 10 hours.
• Sift the powdered sugar, 4 tbsp cocoa powder, and cornstarch together. Cover your workstation with waxed paper to protect it, and liberally sprinkle the surface with the sugar/starch mixture. Sprinkle the top of the marshmallow with the sugar/starch coating, and flip the marshmallow face down onto the prepared surface.
• Carefully peel back the foil from the marshmallow. Spray a large smooth-bladed knife with nonstick cooking spray, and coat both sides with the coating powder. Cut the marshmallow into squares, coating the knife blade with sugar/starch as needed. Roll the cut edges of the marshmallows in the coating mixture so that all sides are smooth and not sticky.
• If desired, melt 12 ounces chocolate coating (or temper 12 ounces chocolate) and dip the cut marshmallows halfway into the chocolate. The chocolate needs to be able to set without refrigeration (which will ruin the texture of the marshmallows) so use only tempered chocolate or chocolate coating for dipping.
• To save marshmallows, store them in a dry airtight container in a temperate, dry location. Do not refrigerate them or keep them in a very humid place. Fresh marshmallows go stale after about a week, so these are best eaten soon after they are made.
