Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large marshmallows
- 300 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams White chocolate chips
- 50 grams Colored sprinkles or edible decorations
- 100 grams Colored candy melts (optional)
- 24 pieces Toothpicks or skewers
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Insert a toothpick or skewer into each marshmallow to make dipping easier. Set aside on a clean surface.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the dipped marshmallows on later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the marshmallow onto the prepared parchment paper.
If desired, sprinkle the dipped marshmallows with colored sprinkles or edible decorations while the chocolate is still wet. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
While the chocolate sets, melt the white chocolate chips (or colored candy melts, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl using the same 30-second interval method as above. Stir until smooth.
Transfer the melted white chocolate or candy melts into a piping bag or a small plastic zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off to create a makeshift piping tool.
Decorate the set marshmallows by piping ribbons, bows, or other gift-inspired designs on top. Get creative to make each one unique!
Allow the decorations to set fully at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Carefully remove the toothpicks or skewers before serving, or leave them in to make the treats easier to hold.
