There are candies that pass through generations without losing their charm: the marshmallow bear is proof of that. Beneath its thin, crunchy chocolate shell hides a vanilla marshmallow so light it melts before you even finish biting the ear.
The homemade version plays in a different league than the commercial one: real couverture chocolate tempered for shine and crunch, marshmallow made fresh with syrup for softness. It’s a fantastic weekend baking project, and a box of homemade bears remains the most impressive gourmet gift. We guide you step by step, including tempering.
