Yesterday I surprised my littles with a chocolate fondue party when they came home from school. Best. Surprise. Ever. They had a blast! And while they were having fun dipping and eating and laughing I melted my own little batch of dark chocolate and made some Chocolate Dipped Heart-Shaped Marshmallows to give as gifts to the lovely secretaries at my kids’ elementary school. I volunteer at their school every week and these ladies are the first people you meet when you walk inside the building. I thought it would be fun to surprise them with a treat since they are always so cheerful and sweet every single time I see them!
To make your own Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows you will need:
1 bag of melting chocolate wafers (I love the dark chocolate flavor best!)
1 package of marshmallows (Heart-shaped if you can find them!)
Candy decorations of your choice
Place the melting chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate together. The majority of it should be melted but if it is not cook for an additional 30 seconds and stir until completely melted.
Using a wooden skewer or a fork, dip the marshmallows into the chocolate until completely covered. Place dipped marshmallows on a piece of waxed paper and sprinkle tops with candy decorations. Let cool until chocolate hardens.
If you can find some heart-shaped marshmallows I highly recommend buying them. There is just something so cute about a Chocolate Dipped Heart-Shaped Marshmallow!
Then after you have set aside a few for yourself (wink, wink) fill up a few boxes to give to friends!
Happy making, friends!
Love,
Maggie
I purchased the heart shaped marshmallows just this morning. Now I know what I am going to do with them! Great idea, thanks for sharing it with us!!! Happy Valentines Day!
Hooray! Have fun…they taste awesome dipped in chocolate!!!
Oh my stars Maggie, those are so cute! I love marshmallows and this looks easy, or at least you make it look easy. I fear my dipping will not look as pretty as yours, but if I can find those marshmallows I’m going to give it a try. As always, thanks for sharing:)
