Easy Chocolate MMF

INGREDIENTS

16 oz mini marshmallows
7-7.5 cups sifted powdered sugar ( a full 2 lb bag is about 8 cups)
2 TBSP corn syrup
1 TBSP vanilla extract
4 TBSP water
3/4 cup cocoa powder
shortening to grease your bowls, works surface etc.

DIRECTIONS

- Put 16 oz of mini marshmallows into a greased bowl. Add 4 TBSP water and 1 TBSP vanilla, then microwave slowly until marshmallows are completely melted. (I usually do 1 min 30secs)
- Transfer melted marshmallows to your KA bowl, add 2 TBSP corn syrup and 3/4 cup cocoa powder. Using dough hook, incorporate until roughly mixed.
- Add sifted powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, and knead well each time, scraping the bowl between sugar additions.
- After 5 cups have been added, add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Knead well, and scrape bowl between additions.
- After 6 cups have been added, add the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until the fondant is of the correct consistency. I test it by pressing my finger into the fondant, and if my finger is dry and clean then I know the fondant is ready.

- After the last powdered sugar addition, turn the fondant out onto a shortening greased surface and knead. It will be very moist and pliable. Store double wrapped, in a ziploc bag and airtight container until ready to use.
