Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printable)

Fluffy, sweet marshmallows hand-dipped in rich, melted chocolate and customized with delicious toppings. A simple dessert.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 24 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter (optional, for smoother consistency)

→ Toppings (optional)

04 - 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
05 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts)
06 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
07 - 2 tablespoons crushed cookies or graham crackers

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - For easier handling, insert a lollipop stick or wooden skewer into each marshmallow.
03 - Place the chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
04 - Carefully dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
05 - Immediately after dipping, sprinkle or gently roll the chocolate-coated portion of the marshmallow into your chosen toppings.
06 - Arrange the dipped marshmallows on the prepared baking tray. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's an instant mood-booster, perfect for chasing away any afternoon doldrums.
  • You can customize these little bites endlessly, making them perfect for any occasion or just because.
02 -
  • Don't overheat the chocolate; it can seize and become grainy, so melt it slowly and stir often.
  • Dipping quickly after melting is key because chocolate thickens as it cools, making it harder to get a smooth coat.
03 -
  • Add a tiny bit of shortening or another tablespoon of coconut oil to your chocolate for an even thinner, smoother coating that's easier to dip and sets with a lovely shine.
  • Have all your toppings ready and laid out before you start dipping; speed is your friend once the chocolate is melted and ready to go.
