Ingredients

Scale

Marshmallow Dippers

  • 20 large marshmallows
  • 30 mini candy canes
  • 1 package (about 12 oz) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Candy Cane Sticks: Carefully unwrap the mini candy canes and use them as dipping sticks for the marshmallows. If preferred, gently break the candy canes in half to create shorter handles.
  2. Insert Candy Canes: Gently insert one mini candy cane into each large marshmallow, ensuring the marshmallow sits firmly on the curved end for easy dipping.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler on the stovetop.
  4. Dip Marshmallows: Hold each marshmallow by the candy cane handle and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on parchment or wax paper to set.
  5. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate-coated marshmallows sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Optionally, decorate or drizzle with leftover candy cane pieces for extra festive flair.

Notes

  • For a festive twist, sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces on the melted chocolate before it sets.
  • Use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips according to your preference.
  • Store finished dippers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Mini candy canes can be substituted with regular-size candy canes broken into pieces if needed.
