2/3 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup miniature marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Place a 9" x 13" ungreased baking pan in the refrigerator to cool (do not freeze). Use cautionary measures when working with hot syrup.

In a small heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cream, syrup, and salt and blend well. Heat until mixture is 238°F. Add marshmallows (do not stir).

Continue to work until candy becomes creamy. Let rest for 1 hour. Form into 3/4 inch balls and dip in chocolate.
