Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
16 ounces chopped dark chocolate (the best you can find)
4 ounces heavy or whipping cream
1 ½ ounces light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
3 ounces marshmallows (preferably homemade), halved around the circumference
1 pinch salt
3 ounces, approximately, walnuts, chopped into medium pieces and toasted (see below)
Directions:
Directions:
Toast the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes until slightly golden and aromatic and allow to cool.

Line an 8x8" or 9" round pan with parchment paper, and butter or grease the parchment. You may also use waxed paper or plastic wrap.

Combine the chocolate, cream, espresso powder (optional), corn syrup, salt and vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl or in the top of a double boiler.

Heat the mixture in the microwave or double boiler until the cream is hot and the chocolate has softened. Remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate has melted and everything is smooth.

Spread about 3/4 cup of the melted chocolate in the bottom of the baking pan and smooth to even.

Space the marshmallow halves on top of the chocolate, and distribute the walnuts in the spaces between the marshmallows. Spread the remaining chocolate on top of the marshmallows and walnuts, smoothing to the edge of the pan so that everything is covered.

Refrigerate for an hour or so to set the chocolate. Remove from the refrigerator, loosen the candy from the pan and cut into pieces. Or, just leave it in the pan and cut as needed.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is adapted from King Arthur’s website. It is terribly addictive and unbelievably delicious. I like it best stored in the refrigerator and served cold. The amounts of marshmallow and walnuts are approximate and can be altered to personal taste. You can omit the nuts, if you wish, and increase the marshmallows.
