Description

Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
Marshmallows
- 1 bag large marshmallows (12 oz bag)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a tall mason jar, melt the semi sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted to prevent burning.
- Dip the Marshmallows: Using a skewer, dip each large marshmallow into the melted chocolate, fully coating it, then gently shake off excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Remove the Skewer: Position the marshmallow upright with the skewer placed between the tines of a fork, then carefully pull the skewer out from the marshmallow.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Using the skewer, gently push the marshmallow off the fork onto a prepared and lined baking sheet to rest while setting.
- Decorate (Optional): While the chocolate is still soft, add your favorite toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut flakes to personalize your treats.
- Set in Fridge: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Be cautious when melting the chocolate; melting it gradually prevents burning and ensures a smooth texture.
- Use a tall mason jar or a microwave-safe container to minimize mess when melting chocolate.
- Decorate marshmallows immediately after dipping as the chocolate sets quickly.
- Store finished marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness.
- For a festive twist, try dipping marshmallows in white chocolate or adding flavor extracts to the melted chocolate.
