Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printer-friendly)

Fluffy marshmallows coated in smooth dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles, nuts, or coconut. A quick and delightful sweet treat everyone will love.

# 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 unsalted butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)

→ Toppings

04 - 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
05 - 2 tbsp chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts)
06 - 2 tbsp shredded coconut
07 - 2 tbsp crushed cookies or graham crackers

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to catch drips and provide a clean surface for setting the dipped marshmallows.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick or wooden skewer into each marshmallow for easier handling during the dipping process.
03 - Place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst, until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler method by setting a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
04 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off for a few seconds.
05 - Immediately coat the chocolate-dipped portion with your chosen toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
06 - Place the completed marshmallows on the prepared tray. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It is impossible to eat just one of these gooey chocolatey snacks.
  • The process is so simple that kids can take charge of the decorations.
02 -
  • Even a single drop of water can seize the chocolate so keep your equipment completely dry.
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted or it will start to thicken and become hard to dip.
03 -
  • Hold the dipped marshmallow over the bowl for a few seconds to let excess chocolate drip away.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle extra chocolate over the top if the coating is too thin.
