Ingredients:
- 1 jar (7oz) marshmallow cream (Fluff)
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter – softened (it is important to use unsalted butter)
- 1-1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
- 1 -1/2 tsp pure peppermint extract
- 6 C powdered sugar
- 4C (24 oz) dark chocolate chips
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream, butter, and extracts until fully combined
- Add in powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until well blended (this will take a couple minutes for it to come together)
- If it seems sticky, add 1/4 C to 1/2 C powdered sugar and blend until fully combined
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper
- Using about 2 Tbsp of filling, shape into a ball, then flatten it for the traditional shape
- Continue until all filling is used
- Cover with saran wrap and freeze for about 2 hours (or overnight)
- Melt chocolate in the microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval – until smooth & melted
- Using a toothpick, dip frozen peppermints into the chocolate
- Tap until all the excess has dripped off and place back on the parchment paper
- Work fast and repeat until all peppermints have been coated – (these should be set within minutes, because you are doing them while still frozen/cold)
Notes:
- Store at room temperature in a covered container & enjoy! (I like them frozen!)
