Ingredients (Makes About 20 Pieces)

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 100g dark chocolate

• 1 tbsp cocoa butter (or substitute with coconut oil)

For the Vanilla Marshmallows:

• 14g gelatin (1 packet)

• 1/3 cup cold water

• 100g corn syrup

• 200g sugar

• A pinch of salt

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 tsp vanilla paste (or vanilla bean seeds or high-quality vanilla extract)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

1. Melt the chocolate with cocoa butter (or coconut oil) using a microwave or a double boiler.

2. Coat the molds: Pour a little melted chocolate into silicone molds and spread it evenly over the base and sides.

3. Let the chocolate set and harden before adding the marshmallow filling.

Step 2: Make the Marshmallow Filling

1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water and let it sit for about 30 minutes until fully absorbed.

2. Prepare the sugar syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook until it reaches 115°C (240°F).

3. Melt the gelatin: Microwave for 10 seconds, then pour it into a stand mixer.

4. Whip the marshmallow: Set the mixer to low speed and slowly drizzle in the hot sugar syrup while whisking. Increase speed to medium and continue whisking for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns into a soft, white foam.

5. Add vanilla extract and whisk for another 5 minutes until thick and fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Marshmallow Bears

1. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag.

2. Fill the chocolate-coated molds with marshmallow cream.

3. Cover with the remaining melted chocolate to seal the marshmallow inside.

4. Let set until the chocolate hardens.

Step 4: Unmold & Enjoy!

• For easy removal, place the molds in the freezer for a few minutes, then gently pop the marshmallow bears out.

• Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later!
