Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printable)
Fluffy marshmallows coated in rich chocolate and topped with nuts, sprinkles, or coconut for a sweet delight.
# What You'll Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 24 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter
→ 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 - Push a lollipop stick or wooden skewer into the center of each marshmallow until secure.
03 - Combine chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Melt over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst.
04 - Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat completely. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off for 3-5 seconds.
05 - Immediately press or sprinkle the coated marshmallow into your chosen toppings while chocolate is still wet.
06 - Place finished marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until firm, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for faster setting.
07 - Serve immediately or package in cellophane bags for gifting. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
