Instructions

  1. Arrange the biscuits on a tray lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between them.
  2. Place a small marshmallow on each biscuit and, if it is too firm, warm it for 5 seconds in the microwave to soften it slightly.
  3. Spread a very thin layer of jam over the marshmallow to help the layers hold, then place a second biscuit on top to form a sandwich.
  4. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with the oil until smooth and glossy.
  5. Coat each sandwich with the melted chocolate using a spoon or by dipping them, then sprinkle with coconut or chocolate sprinkles if you like.
  6. Let them rest in the fridge for 20 minutes, so the chocolate sets into a firm shell.

Variations and tips

Pure no-bake version. Replace the coating with a simple layer of melted chocolate spread with a knife over the top, without the jam sandwich.

Using what you can find. White marshmallows from the shop work perfectly; otherwise, small American marshmallows.
