How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Icing

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup mini marshmallows and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the marshmallows are melted and fully incorporated.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, or until the icing is light, fluffy, and reaches a spreading consistency.
  6. If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
