Dessert Nuggets - Recipe

I’m sure you’ve heard of chicken nuggets, yes? Well what if chicken nuggets were turned into a dessert? Well it has been now. A friend of mine and I created this recipe from scratch so it is our pleasure to share this delicious recipe with you...

Makes: approx. 40 Nuggets
Ingredients:
• 100g Milk or Dark Melting chocolate
• 1pk (280g) Marshmallows - regular size
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/2 t baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 3-5 cups oil (vegetable or canola)

Method:
Step 1: Melt chocolate in microwave for approx. 20 secs (Note: if it’s not baking chocolate this won’t work, it’ll just burn). Stir until smooth and fully melted
Step 2: Take marshmallows and one by one using a fork, as much as you can, fully coat in melted chocolate. Set aside on a plate or board and allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature (if it is a hot day, you can put it in the fridge for 5-10mins)
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together. In a seperate bowl, mix together the milk and the water. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and whisk thoroughly until there are no lumps. Small bubbles may form.
Step 4: In another bowl mix breadcrumbs and sugar together.
Step 5: Take the chocolate dipped marshmallows and one by one coat them in batter, then the breadcrumb mixture and then place onto a place or a board.
Step 6: (If you have a deep fryer use that instead) Pour oil into a deep saucepan, enough to make it at least 5cm deep (approx.) Heat on high until bubbling slightly. Add a drop of batter to the oil to test it. If it floats to the surface covered in bubbles, then it is hot enough.
Step 7: Deep fry the marshmallows. Don’t fry more than 3 at a time. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon. They will be cooked once golden brown
Step 8: Serve immediately.

Tips:
• Goes great with vanilla ice cream
• Be very careful when using hot oil, if you are not an adult, get one to help you. I wouldn’t advise making this if you are the only person in the house - just in case of an accident.
