Ingredients
- 20 large marshmallows
- 30 mini candy canes, crushed
- 1 package (about 12 oz) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Candy Cane Crumbles: Place the mini candy canes in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan until you have fine peppermint crumbles.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Marshmallows: Holding each large marshmallow with a skewer or fork, dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the marshmallow.
- Roll in Crushed Candy Canes: Immediately roll or sprinkle the chocolate-coated portion of the marshmallow in the crushed candy canes to coat.
- Set to Harden: Place the dipped marshmallows on a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your Candy Cane Marshmallow Dippers are ready to be enjoyed as a festive holiday treat or gift.
Notes
- Use skewers or forks to dip marshmallows for easier handling and less mess.
- To avoid chocolate seizing, ensure no water comes in contact with the chocolate when melting.
- You can use white chocolate chips for a different look and flavor.
- If desired, store the dipped marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
