Marshmallow treats are a childhood favorite.
Chocolate dipped marshmallows are a delicious treat that you can make for holidays, all sorts of parties or just an afternoon treat. Children can help adults decorate the marshmallows for a fun family activity. There are a variety of decorating options, meaning this process can be as creative or simple as desired. Chocolate dipped marshmallow treat ideas can be used to put a fun twist on this delicious dessert.
On a Stick
Chocolate dipped marshmallow goodies on a stick make these treats into a modern twist on a lollipop. You can use lollipop sticks, straws or ice pop sticks. Stick them into the flat end of the marshmallows so that they look like a lollipop. Dip them in chocolate and then decorate as desired. Whether dipped just in chocolate or in a candy coating as well, they will make a delicious treat.
Valentine's Day
Use heart-shaped marshmallows that can be found at most grocery stores around the Valentine's Day. Take toothpicks and spear one through the side of the marshmallow like an arrow shooting through a heart. Decorate the marshmallows with melted chocolate, sprinkles and other candy goodies. Stick with candies that are in shades of pink and red that fit into a traditional Valentine's Day color pallet.
Candy
Take marshmallow snacks and dip them in melted chocolate. Before they dry, feel free to roll them in colored sprinkles or place other candy bits into the drying chocolate, making an entirely edible decorative treat. Place them on wax paper to dry. Marshmallows can be dipped in dark chocolate or white chocolate, or made any color with white chocolate and food dye.
Christmas Treats
Take marshmallows, on a stick or solo, and dip them first in caramel, letting them cool on wax paper. Then dip them in melted chocolate. You can repeat this caramel and chocolate layering as many times as desired. Take a peppermint candy cane and crush it into smaller pieces. When the last layer has been dipped, roll the marshmallow in the peppermint candy pieces. These make a delicious Christmas treat.
