Chocolate and Peppermint go hand in hand … like peanut butter and jelly. These Dark Chocolate Peppermint Mallow stars are to DIE FOR and they’re so easy … your kids can help!
It’s no secret that I love peppermint things (see HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE , HERE … I could go on and on!).
So when I saw this Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bread Mix and this marshmallow sheet I knew they must be combined into one awesome chocolate peppermint mallow dessert! I headed to my local Cost Plus World Market in Park City (not sure where yours is? CHECK HERE!) to get my hands on these amazing items.
I was a little nervous to work with a sheet of marshmallow – I mean, have you ever seen anything so awesome? I needn’t have feared – I used a cookie cutter (any shape will do!) and dipped it in a little cornstarch before each new cut. Easy peasy!
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the Christmas baking and Christmas dinnerware. (How embarrassing that I love to buy plates and utensils, right?)
I was pleasantly surprised how easy these little Chocolate Peppermint Mallow stars came together – it was kind of magical actually!
I baked the Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bread Mix on a jelly roll pan. I tried to have it be ABOUT the same size as the marshmallow sheet but it wasn’t an exact science.
Then, cut out stars! I melted some Dark Chocolate chips to stick the chocolate bread and mallow together.
Also, how amazing is this white marble pastry board? When I saw it I about DIED. YUP. I own it now and it is SO beautiful and very heavy.
We even made a MOSTLY chocolate free version for our resident chocolate hater. Who hates chocolate? Crazy people … and my husband. I probably should’ve drizzled it with white chocolate only, but it wouldn’t have photographed well, so he can pick that chocolate off.
Then, I drizzled the top with the extra melted Dark Chocolate and added some White chocolate as well – just for good measure!
Sprinkle the top with peppermint chips and you’re SET! (I should mention that the Dark Chocolate Peppermint bread mix also comes with crushed peppermint so I added that as well!)
So really, how easy is this?
Make a Chocolate Peppermint Bread Mix (follow the mix! I baked mine for about 18 min, but I’m high altitude).
Buy mallow sheet.
Cut into stars.
Melt chocolate.
Stick together.
Drizzle with all the things.
Look like a BALLER when you hand these out at your next party or event.
Mid drop.
