They were never one of my favourite sweets, until the oven broke. Now, I find myself turning to them often as a quick dessert, but I can't resist jazzing them up.
I laugh a bit at recipes that specify "use the freshest marshmallows available." That is pure idiocy. Go ahead and use the ones that are all clumped together in a ball-you're only going to melt them anyway.
I've found that melting chocolate into the butter/marshmallow mixture makes them taste better (well yeah, no kidding, eh?) and they seem to keep a bit longer as well. You can reverse the proportions for white and dark chocolate depending what sort of a mood you're in. I've topped them with melted caramel as well as malted milk balls, though the milk balls got a bit chewy after a day or so. I haven't tried mixing powdered malt directly into the mixture-but there is always next week.
You Will Need:
6 cups marshmallow
6 cups rice cereal
4 tablespoons butter
3 squares melted white chocolate
2 squares melted bittersweet chocolate
Melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat in a large heavy pot. Remove from heat, stir in the white chocolate and mix in the rice cereal. Mix well. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Press in firmly. Pour bittersweet chocolate over top in drizzles. Let cool. When firm and chocolate has dried, cut into squares and wrap tightly in clingfilm.
