Preparation Method:

Lemon Chocolate Dip Candies

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon extract, lemon zest, vanilla extract, marshmallow cream, butter and a few drops of food coloring.

Mix all the ingredients until they are evenly incorporated and smooth.

Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar while mixing constantly and scraping the sides of the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are well blended.

Taste the mixture. You can add additional lemon extract if you desire and additional yellow color to give it a bold yellow color.

Scoop out the mixture in small balls by a candy scoop and place in your hands to roll in your palms until they are 1-inch round balls.

Place these balls on a baking sheet and cover it with waxed or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Place the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave till it melts completely, mixing after every 45 seconds to avoid overheating.

Use a fork or dipping tools, dip the cream filling in the melted candy coating and drag it to the top of the bowl to remove excess coating.

Place these balls on the baking sheet again, if desired and sprinkle silver of candied lemon peel over the wet coating. Repeat the process with other cream fillings.
