Marshmallows on a stick, covered in caramel, covered in orange-flavored white chocolate, drizzled with semisweet chocolate
Ingredients
- Marshmallows
- Long lollipop sticks
- 1 1/4 cups Kraft caramel bits
- 1 1/2 cups high quality white chocolate
- vegetable oil
- Orange candy oil
- Orange candy coloring (Don't use normal food coloring)
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, skewer 4 marshmallows on each stick.
- The flat round ends should be lined up on the side facing you.
- Stagger the marshmallows a bit too, so it's tail-shaped.
- Melt caramel bits in the microwave 1 minute in a medium-large bowl
- Stir to smooth.
- Heat additional 30 seconds if caramel is still lumpy or stringy.
- Hold each stick over the bowl and spoon hot caramel all over your stick.
- When it's completely covered lightly tap against the side of the bowl to get the excess caramel off.
- Place finished stick onto parchment paper or a silpat on a cookie sheet.
- Before dipping the next tail, reheat the caramel for 20 seconds in the microwave.
- When all the tails are dipped, put cookie sheet in the freezer 10 minutes to set.
- In the meantime, place white chocolate chips in an equally large bowl.
- Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and microwave in 30 second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each interval.
- Do not overheat.
- When smooth, add a few drops orange oil, and orange coloring.
- One at a time, hold each caramel covered stick over the chocolate bowl, spoon chocolate on top, and tap off just like with the caramel.
- If chocolate starts to thicken, microwave 30 seconds at 50% power to thin it out.
- Place each chocolate dipped tail back on parchment/silpat lined tray.
- When all the tails have been dipped, freeze 10 minutes or until firm.
- Melt semisweet chocolate and drizzle in zig-zag motion over each tail.
- Freeze about 5 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
