Dipped Marshmallows Sprinkles (Printable)
Fluffy marshmallows coated in chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles, perfect for parties and snacks.
# What You'll Need:
→ Marshmallows
01 - 20 large marshmallows
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate chips
03 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil, optional for smoother melting
→ Decorations
04 - 1/2 cup assorted sprinkles
→ Optional Equipment
05 - 20 wooden skewers or lollipop sticks
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside for dipped marshmallows.
02 - Carefully insert a skewer or lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow, pushing about halfway through for stability.
03 - Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
04 - Hold each marshmallow by the stick and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Gently twist and lift to remove excess drips.
05 - Immediately sprinkle assorted decorations over the chocolate coating while wet, or dip the chocolate portion directly into a bowl of sprinkles.
06 - Stand marshmallows upright on the prepared baking sheet. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 5-10 minutes for faster results.
07 - Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

02 -
- Work quickly once the chocolate is melted or it will start to thicken and become difficult to dip
- The sprinkles only stick while the chocolate is wet, so have everything ready before you start dipping
03 -
- Crushed graham crackers or mini chocolate chips make excellent alternative toppings if you want something beyond sprinkles
- A pinch of sea salt on the wet chocolate before sprinkling creates that salted chocolate effect everyone loves
