  • 1.5 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (1 to 2 minutes total).
  4. Add the peppermint extract and a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate, stirring well to combine.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the miniature marshmallows and chopped pecans.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the marshmallows and pecans, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Gently fold the mixture together until all marshmallows and pecans are coated with chocolate.
  8. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cluster.
  9. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top of each cluster for garnish, pressing them lightly into the chocolate.
  10. Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until clusters are firm.
  11. Once set, lift each cluster off the parchment and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

These clusters can be served as a dessert or sweet snack anytime. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for about a week. For longer storage, they can be frozen.
