SHAMROCK MATCHA FUDGE

With spring now on the horizon I am looking forward to good weather and celebrating Easter and St. Patrick’s Day in March. To help me get in the festive spirit I decided to whip up some white chocolate fudge with a matcha dessert twist to help it not only turn green but become a perfect St. Patrick’s Day dessert. Although they are as delicious and can easily be cut into matcha squares, I decided to take the theme a little further using my little shamrock cookie cutter to achieve these adorable shamrock match fudge morsels. If you are a matcha lover or looking for new ways to use Matcha powder, you are going to love this St. Patrick’s Day Recipe. But don’t take my word for it, try for yourself. Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:

In a large sauce pan melt the butter on medium heat.

Once melted add in 4 cups of marshmallows and reduce heat to low. Continue stirring until completely melted.

Next, remove melted marshmallow and butter mixture from heat and add to large bowl with the Rice Krispie cereal, remaining marshmallows and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

Using wax paper, line a baking tray and press the rice crispy into the baking tray creating an even thickness all round. Place the baking tray in the fridge for 20 min to cool before removing and cutting out heart shapes using a heart shaped cookie cutter. Place the hearts on a wax paper lined baking sheet. NOTE: You can take the remainder of the mixture that you were not able to use and press it into the heart shaped cookie cutter to create 1 or 2 more heart shapes so you don’t have to waste any of the precious mixture.

Using the ‘double boil’ method, melt the white chocolate wafers. Set 1/2 aside and add a ladybug size amount of pink food colouring to it. Stir well to turn the chocolate pink.

Dip each heart into either the white or pink chocolate until half the heart is submerged before placing it back on the baking sheet to dry. You can also use a fork or piping bag to create decorative patterns on top using alternating chocolate colours.

Store hearts in cool place until you are you are ready to enjoy.
