Ingredients
  

Peppermint Filling
  • 1 jar marshmallow cream (Fluff) 7 ounce
  • 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 5.5 cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 package Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers 16 ounce
  • 8 ounce Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers optional for football shapes

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat marshmallow cream, butter, and extracts until fully combined. Add in powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until well blended (may take a couple minutes for it to come together).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using about 1 Tbsp of filling, shape into a ball, then flatten it for the traditional shape. If wanting to make footballs, shape into a ball and then pinch the ends. Continue until all filling is used. Cover with saran wrap and freeze for about 2 hours (or overnight).
  3. Melt Ghirardelli chocolate wafers according to package directions. Using a toothpick, dip frozen peppermints into the chocolate. Tap until all the excess has dripped off and place back on the parchment paper. Repeat until all peppermints have been coated. These should set within minutes, because you are dipping them while still cold.
  4. If making footballs, melt white chocolate according to package directions. Pour into a small ziploc bag and cut the corner off. Pipe laces onto footballs. Sets within minutes! ENJOY!
  5. Store at room temperature in a covered container!
