  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows or 15 regular marshmallows (375 mL)
  • 1/3 cup milk (75 mL)
  • 2 tsp kirsch (cherry brandy) or 1/4 tsp (1 mL) almond extract (10 mL)

  • 36 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates, unwrapped (approx.)
  • 1 cup 35% whipping cream (250 mL)
  1. Combine marshmallows and milk in small saucepan set over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. 
  2. Measure 1/3 cup (75 mL) marshmallow mixture into a medium bowl; stir in brandy and food colouring (if using). Set aside. To remaining marshmallow mixture, add the chocolate. Return to low heat; cook, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. 
  3. Beat whipping cream in small bowl until stiff. Fold 1 cup (250 mL) whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Gradually fold remaining whipped cream into reserved mixture. Fill 4 parfait glasses about three-quarters full with chocolate mixture; spoon or pipe remaining mixture on top. Chill for 3 to 4 hours or until set. Garnish with additional chocolates (if desired). 
  1. Hershey's kisses were sold out at the store today (Valentine's Day 2019), so I used Hershey's milk chocolate chips instead. 36 kisses = approx. 161 grams of chips. (Feb 14, 2019)
