[RECIPE] Chocolate-covered Marshmallows

As its name would suggest, it is simply marshmallows dipped in chocolate. Make it as a party favor or a housewarming gift. Or make it for a special someone (it makes a nice study snack)

Ingredients:
marshmallows*
dark chocolate**
sprinkles (decorations)
lollipop sticks (optional)
clear bags with twist ties (optional)



* I used the original size but you can definitely use any size you prefer
** One bar of 100g was enough for me to coat all the marshmallows. I used 70% cocoa which is not too sweet, but not too bitter. I tend to like very dark chocolate, and you have to consider the sweetness of the marshmallows

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl. I used the microwave in 10 seconds-intervals and stirred until it is fully melted.
3. Dip a marshmallow into the chocolate and tap off any excess chocolate. For Marshmallow-on-a-stick, dip the tip of the stick with some chocolate gently twist it into a marshmallow. The chocolate helps secure the marshmallow onto the stick.
4. Place it onto the lined cookie sheet and add some sprinkles on top.
5. Let the chocolate cool and set at room temperature before you put it in the fridge for at least 30-40 minutes. I left mine in the fridge for an hour just to be safe. 
6. Wrap the individual marshmallows-on-a-stick in a clear bag and secure with a twist tie. OR, place them in a gift box lined with a tissue paper.

This recipe is super easy and you can change it up any way you like!
You know what would be awesome?! Smores-on-a-stick! Just gently crush up some graham crackers and sprinkle that on top instead of sprinkles :)

Tip for cleaning: Using the last few marshmallows, rip them in half and scrape off the leftover chocolate in the bowl. Proceed to enjoy a little reward for your hard work :)
