Chocolate dipped marshmallows treat (Printable)
Fluffy marshmallows coated in melted chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles for a festive treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 24 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
→ Decorations
03 - 1/2 cup assorted sprinkles
→ Optional Equipment
04 - 24 lollipop sticks or skewers
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - If using lollipop sticks, insert one stick into each marshmallow, pushing about halfway through.
03 - Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly.
04 - Hold each marshmallow by the stick and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Gently lift and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
05 - Immediately coat the chocolate-dipped portion with sprinkles while the coating is still wet, ensuring even coverage.
06 - Place completed marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet. Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes until chocolate is completely firm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The satisfaction of dipping and decorating rivals any craft project
- They come together in under twenty minutes but look like you fussed for hours
02 -
- Chocolate that seizes can often be rescued by adding a teaspoon of coconut oil and stirring vigorously
- Work quickly once the chocolate is melted because sprinkles only stick when the chocolate is wet
03 -
- Let the marshmallows come to room temperature before dipping to prevent condensation under the chocolate
- Gently tap the stick against the bowl edge after dipping to remove excess chocolate cleanly
