Chocolate Marshmallows on a Stick (Printable)

Fluffy marshmallows dipped in rich chocolate and sprinkles, served on sticks for a fun party treat.

# What You Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 12 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Decoration

03 - 3 tbsp sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut

→ Assembly

04 - 12 wooden or paper lollipop sticks

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to set the marshmallows after dipping.
02 - Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow, pushing it about halfway through to ensure stability.
03 - Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring constantly until smooth.
04 - Holding the stick, dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Gently tap the stick against the bowl rim to remove excess chocolate.
05 - Immediately sprinkle the coated marshmallows with your choice of sprinkles, nuts, or coconut before the chocolate hardens.
06 - Arrange the coated marshmallows upright on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
07 - Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're foolproof enough for a first-timer but impressive enough to make people think you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • Kids and adults alike lose their minds over them, making them perfect for parties, potlucks, or last-minute gifts.
  • You can dress them up or down—from simple sprinkles to fancy sea salt and caramel drizzles.
02 -
  • Temper your expectations about what 'melted chocolate' should look like—it should be thin and pourable, not thick or grainy, which means low heat is your friend.
  • Decorations stick only to wet chocolate; the second it starts to cool and firm up, anything you add will just slide right off.
03 -
  • Use a fork or dipping tool to hold the stick if your hands get tired—it gives you more control and keeps your fingers clean.
  • If your chocolate starts to thicken while you're dipping, gently reheat it for just a few seconds rather than adding liquid, which will make it seize.
