Chocolate-dipped marshmallows may look like an intricate treat, but they only take a few moments to make and are perfect for a gathering or to simply satisfy a craving. The light, vanilla-flavored marshmallows are coated in melted chocolate and then can be accented with sprinkles, colored sugar, shredded coconut, crushed peppermint, or small candies like mini M&Ms or Reese's pieces, making for a festive presentation.
If you're hosting a party, place the treats on toothpicks or skewers before dipping, making the coating process simple and the marshmallows easier to serve and eat.
For a fun family activity, set up a decorating station with skewered marshmallows, melted chocolate, and bowls of candies and sprinkles and let the kids dip the marshmallows and sprinkle with their choice of decorations.
Ingredients needed:
- Large Marshmallows
- Red Melting Chocolate, Melted
- Christmas Sprinkles
- Wooden Coffee Sticks
WARNING:
The boys and I had so much fun making these. One thing I learned is to give each child a cookie sheet to work in otherwise you have sprinkles everywhere.
