Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows (Printable version)

Soft marshmallows dipped in smooth chocolate and topped for a sweet, easy treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 24 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

→ Toppings (optional)

03 - 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts)
04 - 1/3 cup sprinkles
05 - 1/4 cup shredded coconut
06 - 2 tbsp crushed freeze-dried raspberries

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into each marshmallow to hold while dipping.
03 - Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until melted.
04 - Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
05 - Immediately coat the chocolate-dipped portion with your choice of toppings by sprinkling or rolling.
06 - Place the finished marshmallows upright on the prepared baking sheet and allow to set at room temperature for 15 minutes or until chocolate firms.
07 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three days.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in under 30 minutes, with zero baking required—just melting and dipping.
  • Everyone customizes their own toppings, so there's genuine creativity and fun built into every batch.
  • They look impressive enough to gift but taste homemade in the best way possible.
02 -
  • Don't let the chocolate get too hot or it will seize—a gentle hand with the heat is your secret weapon here.
  • Dip quickly and decisively; hesitation leads to chocolate sliding off instead of coating evenly.
  • Toppings must go on immediately while the chocolate is still warm and tacky, or they'll slide right off.
03 -
  • Use a fork or dipping tool if you prefer more control, but fingers work fine once you get comfortable with the temperature.
  • If your chocolate starts to thicken while you're dipping, briefly reheat it over the warm water—it'll loosen right back up without burning.
