We liked it.... it's very rich and chocolate-ty and the recipe was easy to follow. I don't have a candy thermometer and so after some minutes boiling the corn syrup mixture I tested it every 30 seconds or so, dropping a drop into a bowl of cold water and as soon as it made a little ball I drizzled the mix into the egg whites. I beat the resulting mix for a good ten minutes (timed) but it still didn't go marshmallow-ey as I expected it would, rather it stayed as a very thick chocolate mousse consistancy , but not fluffy. The taste was excellent, No problem there I just found it too rich to eat much of.. I think that had I managed to get it to the marshmallow consistancy I would have liked it better. DH devoured it... he didn't care at all how it "should" have looked LOL. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for great flavour and having made marshmallow successfully before I have no idea why this one didn't do it's fluff stuff as expected, but even as a very rich chocolate dessert it was very nice. Thanks!

We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
