Easy and tasty. Would be fun for kids to make. Here are my tips: dip marshmallows using a long wooden skewer and place in foil muffin baking cups in covered container in refrigerator. Mixture is easier to work with when it has cooled just a bit. I tried rolling in peppermint too as the kids don't eat nuts. It was good but pecans were better. These are large candies, I left them in the baking cups for serving. I suggest eating some of the chocolate with a spoon, it's very yummy. Thanks, tree luee dee, for posting!
