Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows Treat (Printable)

Marshmallows dipped in rich chocolate and topped with nuts, sprinkles, or coconut for a sweet, easy delight.

# What You Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 24 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Toppings

04 - 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts)
05 - 1/2 cup sprinkles
06 - 1/4 cup shredded coconut
07 - Flaky sea salt, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick or wooden skewer into each marshmallow, pushing about halfway through the center.
03 - Combine chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl. Melt over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth, or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst.
04 - Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
05 - Immediately roll or sprinkle with your choice of toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
06 - Place coated marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet. Let set at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate is firm.
07 - Serve immediately or package in cellophane bags for gifting. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The combination of fluffy marshmallow and crisp chocolate coating creates the most satisfying texture contrast
  • You can customize the toppings infinitely based on what you have or what the occasion calls for
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look like something from a fancy chocolate shop
02 -
  • Working quickly once the chocolate is melted is crucial because it starts setting up fast, especially if your kitchen is cool
  • Moisture is the enemy of melted chocolate, so make sure your bowl and utensils are completely dry before you begin
03 -
  • Tap the stick gently against the bowl edge after dipping to remove excess chocolate for a thinner, more elegant coating
  • Chill your baking sheet for 10 minutes before starting to help the chocolate set faster and more evenly
