Why is the chocolate seizing into a thick paste the second a stray drop of water touches the bowl? Moisture is the absolute enemy of melted cocoa butter. Keep every utensil bone-dry. White chocolate scorches easily because milk solids burn faster than cocoa solids. Maintain gentle heat during melting. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula rather than a wooden spoon to prevent hot spots.
Scaling this recipe requires simple arithmetic. Maintain a ratio of three marshmallows for every three-quarters ounce of chocolate. Doubling the batch means using twelve ounces of chocolate for forty-eight marshmallows. Work in smaller batches if scaling up significantly. Chocolate cools and hardens quickly on cold sugar confections. Re-warm the remaining liquid chocolate in ten-second microwave intervals at fifty percent power if it thickens too much mid-process.
