Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows Sprinkles (Printable)
Fluffy marshmallows coated in rich chocolate, decorated with colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
# What You'll Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 20 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
→ Decoration
03 - 2 tbsp colorful sprinkles
→ Optional
04 - 20 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into each marshmallow if desired to facilitate dipping.
02 - Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt gently over simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between bursts.
03 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
04 - Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-coated portion with colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
05 - Place dipped marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet. Allow to sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
06 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to three days.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They're impossibly easy to make but look like you spent hours perfecting them.
- The contrast between snappy chocolate and pillowy marshmallow is genuinely addictive.
- Perfect for last-minute gifts, party trays, or just keeping a stash in your freezer.
02 -
- Chocolate seized or turned waxy? It likely got too hot or a drop of water snuck in—this teaches you to work slowly and keep everything bone-dry.
- Sprinkles sliding right off? Your chocolate needs to still be warm enough to grab onto them; cold chocolate repels them like oil and water.
03 -
- Warm your marshmallows slightly in your hands before dipping so the chocolate adheres more evenly and doesn't crack as it sets.
- Keep a small bowl of warm water nearby to dip your stick between marshmallows; this prevents buildup and keeps the process clean.
