This week’s Ask-A-Planner is another How-To, this time on chocolate covered marshmallows with sprinkles. It sounds pretty simple {it is!} and by following just a few little tricks yours will be professionally perfect! {These are surprisingly good, by the way. They sound a little sweet, but somehow it all works out into wonderful goodness.}

To melt the chocolate and keep it at the right temperature for dipping a double boiler is needed. We created our own by putting a pot of water on to a low boil.

While waiting for that to boil, we got the other ingredients ready: semi-sweet chocolate chips in a metal bowl, ready to go on top of the boiling pot, a plate of sprinkles and marshmallows on a stick. {you can also use lollipop sticks, which look much nicer, but for this demo we cut down some bamboo skewers we had on hand.}

When the water is at a low boil, put the metal bowl of chocolate on the boiling pot and melted the chocolate down until there are no lumps.

Then take a marshmallow on a stick and dip it the the chocolate rolling it to ensure its covered on all sides.

Once chocolate is covering the marshmallow, roll it across the sprinkles to cover the sides. 

Then place the finished marshmallows on a sheet of wax paper {we didn’t do that here, and it was a mess. Thankfully we did when we made these for a party!}

That’s it! They look so colorful and fun at a party and add to any dessert set up. Enjoy!
