Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printable)

Fluffy marshmallows coated in silky melted chocolate and adorned with festive toppings for a delightful treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 24 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil

→ Toppings

04 - 3 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
05 - 3 tbsp crushed nuts (pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts)
06 - 2 tbsp shredded coconut
07 - 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert lollipop sticks or skewers into each marshmallow if desired for easy handling.
02 - Place chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler over simmering water or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
03 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle with selected toppings or roll the chocolate-coated portion in toppings.
04 - Arrange coated marshmallows on prepared baking sheet. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of creamy chocolate and pillowy marshmallows creates the most addictive texture contrast
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look like you spent all day crafting something special
  • Everyone can customize their own toppings, making it a fun activity for parties
02 -
  • Even one drop of water can seize your chocolate, so make sure all your bowls and utensils are completely dry before you start
  • Work in small batches of 4 or 5 marshmallows at a time so the chocolate stays warm and the toppings stick properly
  • If your chocolate starts getting too thick, gently reheat it for 10 seconds to get that silky consistency back
03 -
  • Chill your marshmallows in the fridge for 15 minutes before dipping—the cold helps the chocolate set faster and drip less
  • If you're making these for gifting, insert the finished marshmallows into clear treat bags tied with ribbon for instant presentation
