Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Marshmallows with Chef Josh from Guittard

For our first demo class of the day we had a chocolate dipped pumpkin marshmallow. Here Chef Josh taught us a little bit about tempering chocolate to make sure the chocolate cast is ready for the filling. He showed us how to prep the filling, prep the chocolate, fill the molds, and save the cast-off chocolate. He also gave us tips about choosing the best chocolate, working with precise measurements , and temperature conversions. Then everyone in class was able to taste one of these confections. Delicious!

Some of the kitchen tools used by Chef Josh in this demonstration included a digital scale, chocolate molds, and a bench scraper.
