Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows Sprinkles (Print Version)
Fluffy marshmallows coated in rich chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles for a festive treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 20 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
→ Decoration
03 - 2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles
→ Optional
04 - 20 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and insert a lollipop stick or skewer into each marshmallow, if desired.
02 - Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt gently over simmering water, stirring until smooth, or melt in a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each.
03 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
04 - Sprinkle the chocolate-coated section with colorful sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets.
05 - Place dipped marshmallows on the prepared sheet and allow chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
06 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to three days.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They look like you spent hours at a candy shop, but you'll actually be done in twenty minutes.
- Kids can help dip and decorate, turning it into a kitchen project instead of just dessert-making.
- A small homemade gift that tastes better than anything you'd buy pre-packaged.
02 -
- Water and chocolate are enemies—even one drop will make it seize into a grainy mess that's almost impossible to fix, so keep the bowl completely dry and never let steam touch it.
- Room temperature chocolate is already too thick to dip properly, so don't walk away once it's melted or you'll be reheating it constantly.
- Sticking a marshmallow in the fridge for five minutes before dipping makes the chocolate set faster and stick better, which is a small step that changes everything.
03 -
- Use a tall glass instead of a bowl for dipping—the narrower shape means less chocolate waste and an easier angle for getting that perfect halfway coat.
- If your chocolate seizes during melting, add a tiny bit of coconut oil and whisk it constantly until it comes back to life, though prevention is always easier than rescue.
