Fluffy marshmallows enveloped in glossy chocolate, finished with your choice of crunchy or colorful toppings.

# What You Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 20 large marshmallows

# How to Prepare:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Melt the chocolate with coconut oil or butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under an hour and feel sophisticated enough to impress without any real fuss.
  • Every kitchen mistake—a slightly bumpy coating, uneven sprinkles—just adds character instead of ruining them.
  • You end up with something genuinely special to serve or gift, which somehow tastes even better when it's homemade.
02 -
  • If your chocolate is too thick or starts to seize up, it means it got too hot or water got into it—add a tiny bit more coconut oil and whisk gently to bring it back to life.
  • Work quickly once you start dipping because room-temperature chocolate sets faster than you'd think, and you want that topping window to stay open.
03 -
  • If your chocolate keeps getting thick as it cools, keep the bowl over gently simmering water and just work faster—a warm chocolate bath beats struggling with clumpy coatings.
  • The most foolproof topping strategy is to stick with something that sticks—sprinkles and coconut are your friends, while powdered sugar or cocoa powder will slide right off the wet chocolate.
