Strawberry Marshmallow Filled Chocolates
Strawberry Marshmallow Filled Chocolates | These easy to make chocolates are the perfect way to say “I Love You”. Bag up a few and put them on your sweeties desk for him to discover on Valentine’s Day.
To make these delicious candies I started with a Wilton heart truffle mold. I bought mine at Michael’s, if you can’t find it there, you can order it from Wilton Heart Truffle Mold. I also used my favorite melting chocolate from Chocoley (any kind of melting dark chocolate will do).
The last thing I used was something I found yesterday ( yes, I said yesterday. I couldn’t wait to get started creating with this) from Cost Plus International Market and that was Strawberry Flavored Fluff! If you don’t have a Cost Plus you can also use regular marshmallow cream. But if you do… I would highly recommend you getting some!
The combo of dark chocolate with the creamy strawberry fluff if perfect!
Place a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each heart well.
Using a clean paint brush push the chocolate up the sides of the mold; making sure the sides and bottom are completely covered.
Turn candy mold upside down on the prepared cooling rack, lightly tap to let any excess chocolate drip out.
It will help get the marshmallow cream out easier if you spray your spatula with non stick cooking spray.
Take the hardened chocolate out of the refrigerator, snip one corner of the filled zip top bag and pipe about a tablespoon of marshmallow into each heart well.
Use a spoon and fill over the top with the remaining melted chocolate.

I’ve never even heard of this marshmallow stuff. Is is free of dairy, soy and gluten? Where does on buy this?
Hi J’Marinde, Where to buy it is in my post.
What …. strawberry marshmallow fluff?! Looks like a trip to Cost Plus is in my future! 🙂 These chocolates are perfect!
we don’t have strawberry fluff here, but we have marshmallow cream, think I could mix in some of the powdered jello mix into it for flavoring?
If you have Cost Plus International Market close by they usually carry it. If not then I think I would try strawberry extract instead of jello. I would be afraid of the dry mix adding a grainy texture to the fluff. Add 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract….you might need to add some confectioners’ sugar to thicken the fluff. I don’t think only a teaspoon with thin it out but if it does then just add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing between additions until you reach the right thickness. Good Luck!
