Some candies span generations without ever going out of style: the marshmallow bear is proof. Beneath its thin, crisp chocolate shell lies a vanilla marshmallow so light that it melts before you've even finished biting into the ear.
The homemade version is in a league of its own compared with the store-bought kind: real couverture chocolate tempered for shine and snap, and marshmallow whipped to perfection with syrup for a soft, airy texture. It's a wonderful weekend baking project, and a box of homemade bears makes a particularly impressive edible gift. We'll guide you through it step by step, including tempering.
