Ingredients
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for the base chocolate flavor
– 1 cup white chocolate chips to add creaminess and contrast
– 1 ยฝ cups miniature marshmallows for a soft, chewy texture
– 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts/almonds as substitutes) for crunch and nutty taste
– 1 teaspoon peppermint extract for the signature refreshing mint flavor
– ยฝ cup mini chocolate chips used as garnish for extra chocolatey goodness
– A pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor
Instructions
1-First: line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
2-Then, melt the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth to ensure even melting.
3-Once melted, stir in the peppermint extract and a pinch of salt to infuse that fresh mint flavor.
4-Next, in a large bowl, combine the miniature marshmallows and chopped pecans, mixing them well.
5-Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the marshmallows and pecans, folding gently to coat everything evenly without breaking the marshmallows.
6-Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form clusters, then sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top and lightly press them in for a decorative finish.
7-Finally, refrigerate the clusters for 1 hour until they firm up.
8-Once set, transfer them to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until serving to maintain their texture and freshness.
