A Christmas Treat

Chocolate Marshmallow Bark



I found this receipe recently on http://weightwatchers.com/



It was a hit with my family and didn't last long at all. Its a great holiday treat to share with friends and co-workers. I just packaged the bars in Santa-themed goody bags I found at Target.


INGREDIENTS:

8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finest quality recommended

2 tsp. unsalted butter

3 cups Kraft Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows, or other brand



INSTRUCTIONS:

Line a 9-x 9-inch pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

In a double-boiler, melt chocolate and butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly combined; remove from heat and stir in marshmallows. Scrape chocolate mixture into prepared pan using a silicon spatula; smooth into a somewhat even layer. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, at least 1 hour; keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Cut into 12 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.



NOTE: I simplified the melting process by doing the melting in the microwave with a microwave-safe bowl.
