Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printer-friendly)

Soft marshmallows enveloped in smooth chocolate and finished with colorful toppings for a festive touch.

# 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 (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Toppings (optional)

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

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and setting.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into the center of each marshmallow, if making pops.
03 - In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil if using. Melt over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
04 - Hold each marshmallow by the stick (or directly) and dip halfway into melted chocolate. Gently tap to let excess chocolate drip off.
05 - Immediately sprinkle with chosen toppings or roll the chocolate-coated portion in toppings while chocolate is still wet.
06 - Place coated marshmallows on prepared baking sheet. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.
07 - Serve immediately or package for gifting. Store in an airtight container at cool room temperature or refrigerate.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These come together in under twenty minutes but look like you spent hours planning them
  • Perfect for customizing with whatever toppings you have in your pantry
02 -
  • Avoid getting water in your melted chocolate at all costs since even a drop will make it seize and turn grainy
  • Room temperature marshmallows dip more easily than cold ones so let them sit out for ten minutes before starting
03 -
  • If your chocolate starts to thicken while dipping add a teaspoon more oil and gently reheat
  • Use plant based marshmallows to make these completely vegetarian or vegan friendly
