Fluffy marshmallows coated with silky chocolate and colorful sprinkles, perfect for sweet treats.
# What You Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 20 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
→ Decorations
03 - 1/4 cup assorted sprinkles
→ Optional
04 - 20 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into each marshmallow, if using.
03 - Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth, or melt over simmering water.
04 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
05 - Immediately sprinkle with assorted sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
06 - Place dipped marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Let the chocolate harden at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 5 minutes to speed setting.
08 - Serve immediately or keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They look like you spent hours on them, but you're actually done in twenty minutes.
- A blank canvas for whatever sprinkles or toppings speak to your mood that day.
- Perfect for last-minute gifts that taste way better than store-bought versions.
02 -
- Melted chocolate can seize if even a tiny drop of water gets in it, turning it grainy and unusable—keep everything bone-dry.
- If your sprinkles don't stick, your chocolate wasn't warm enough when you applied them.
- Room temperature setting actually gives a thinner, snappier chocolate shell than immediate refrigeration.
03 -
- Double-dipping in chocolate (let the first coat set slightly, then dip again) creates a thicker, more luxurious chocolate shell.
- If you're making these for kids, let them each choose their own sprinkle combination and dip their own—it becomes an event, not just a snack.
