Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printable)

Enjoy light marshmallows generously coated in smooth chocolate, ready for your choice of toppings. A simple, sweet confection.

# What You 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 chocolate)

→ 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 Cook:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick or wooden skewer into each marshmallow, if desired, for ease of dipping.
03 - Combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.
04 - Submerge each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
05 - Immediately adorn the chocolate-coated portion with your preferred toppings.
06 - Position the dipped marshmallows onto the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You'll be amazed how quickly you can whip up a truly impressive dessert for any occasion.
  • This recipe is so forgiving, making it perfect for involving little hands in the kitchen without much fuss.
02 -
  • Don't overheat the chocolate; it will become grainy and lose its beautiful sheen, so always melt slowly and stir often.
  • Make sure your toppings are ready *before* you start dipping, because the chocolate sets faster than you think.
03 -
  • For an extra smooth chocolate, add a small amount of vegetable shortening instead of coconut oil, especially if you dislike a hint of coconut flavor.
  • If your chocolate starts to thicken during dipping, return it to the microwave for a quick 5-10 second burst, stirring well.
