Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 2 cups (230 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (10 ounces) bag milk chocolate melting wafers
Marshmallow Ingredients:
- 1 (7 ounces) jar marshmallow fluff
- 1 ½ cups homemade marshmallow cream
Additional Coating Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gradually melting semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring carefully between 30-second intervals until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Integrate marshmallow fluff gently into the melted chocolate, using a spatula to fold and blend thoroughly, ensuring no streaks remain.
- Pour the chocolate-marshmallow mixture into a lined rectangular baking pan, spreading evenly to create a consistent layer about half an inch thick.
- Refrigerate the mixture for approximately 30-40 minutes, allowing it to set and firm up completely while maintaining a smooth texture.
- Once chilled and solidified, remove the chocolate slab from the refrigerator and slice into rectangular bar shapes using a sharp knife.
- Prepare a final chocolate coating by melting additional semi-sweet chocolate chips, creating a smooth dipping medium.
- Carefully immerse each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then place on a parchment-lined tray to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Return the coated bars to the refrigerator for a final 15-20 minutes to set the outer chocolate shell, creating a crisp, glossy finish.
- Store the homemade chocolate bars in an airtight container, keeping them chilled to maintain their structured shape and optimal texture.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate chips melt gently to prevent burning by using short microwave bursts and stirring frequently.
- Use a candy thermometer for precise temperature control when working with chocolate and marshmallow mixture.
- Chill the bars completely before cutting to achieve clean, sharp edges and prevent crumbling.
- For a gluten-free version, verify all ingredients are certified gluten-free and use alternative binding agents if needed.
