Chocolate Covered Marshmallows

This recipe, if you can even call it a recipe, almost didn't make it to the pages of Espresso and Cream. I got to dipping marshmallows in chocolate one night to satisfy a sweet tooth craving, never really thinking of sharing the idea with anyone else, but when J. arrived at my apartment last week his enthusiastic reaction made me do a double take. "You're going to put these on the blog, right?" he asked.

And so in the name of ease, yumminess, and practicality, I am posting chocolate covered marshmallows. Not because they're revolutionary, cutting edge, or will change your world, but because they will satisfy your sweet tooth in a majorly easy way. They also travel well and would be beautiful packed in a box and served as a gift like chocolate truffles. So here's to Wednesdays and making life a little simpler.
