Chocolate for topping didn't melt Recipe for S'mores Bars called for melting milk chocolate chips on top of previously baked marshmallows (on top of graham cracker crust). Oven at 350F.
My chocolate didn't melt, and the bars don't hold together.
I used homemade marshmallows, which are quite a bit lighter and more delicate than commercial. I substituted some bittersweet chocolate that I had on hand, which was a bit old.
I haven't tried anything yet to fix it. Tastes great but it's not a bar, more of a crumbly topping at this point. Is there any way to fix it? Melt some milk choc chips separately and pour/spread on top of the bittersweet?
It's not a typical situation of 'seizing' since I wasn't heating and stirring it separately.
Assuming the chocolate really hasn't melted at all, I would just remove it and melt it seperately before pouring it back on top so it can actually combine with the marshmallows.
If it sort of fused with the marshmallows, I would consider getting more to just put on top, depending on how well the not-melted chocolate covers the marshmallows. If the newly melted chocolate can't reach the marshmallow, it'll still just fall apart after the 2nd batch of chocolate cools.
