Preparation

Step 1

In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Brush evenly on the inside of 18 foil miniature muffin cup liners. Refrigerate until set. Add a second coat of chocolate; chill until set.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir marshmallows and milk until marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat. Stir in the extracts, food coloring and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until thickened.

Carefully peel liners from the chocolate cups and discard. In a large bowl, beat cream until still peaks form. Fold in marshmallow mixture and 2 tbsp. crushed candies. Spoon into chocolate cups. Sprinkle with remaining candies. Sotre in refrigerator.
