Fluffy marshmallows coated in rich chocolate with colorful sprinkles, nuts, or coconut on a stick. Fun treats ready in 30 minutes.
# Ingredient List:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 12 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
→ Toppings (optional)
03 - 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
04 - 2 tbsp chopped nuts (pistachios, hazelnuts, or almonds)
05 - 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
→ Other
06 - 12 wooden or paper lollipop sticks
# Steps:
01 - Insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, pushing about halfway through for stability.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
03 - In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate over a pot of simmering water using the double boiler method or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
04 - Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
05 - Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings over the chocolate-coated marshmallows before the coating sets.
06 - Place the finished marshmallows upright on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
08 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These come together in under thirty minutes but look like you spent hours on them
- The customization possibilities mean you can match any holiday color scheme or party theme
02 -
- Chocolate that gets even a drop of water will seize into a grainy mess, so keep your utensils completely dry
- Work quickly once you start dipping because the chocolate sets surprisingly fast at room temperature
03 -
- Warm your chocolate in short intervals and stir between each, because overheating destroys that glossy finish
- Hold the dipped marshmallow over the bowl for a few extra seconds so gravity helps excess chocolate drip away evenly
