If you need a quick and easy treat for a party, I’ve got ‘em. I made these for a Snack Bar at a kid’s birthday party. No one can resist chocolate covered marshmallows. NO ONE.

ingredients:
1 pound bittersweet chocolate (I prefer Callebaut)
1 bag regular sized marshmallows
sprinkles, nuts, etc

Poke the stick into the end of the marshmallows. I use extra long lollipop sticks so that I can get TWO marshmallows on one stick. Set aside.

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate down to a nice runny consistency. I like to use bittersweet chocolate, just because the marshmallow itself is so sweet, there’s no need to go into a total sugar coma overload. The bittersweet is a nice contrast.

Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate to coat. I like to leave the bottom ‘white’ of the marshmallow showing, just to give people an idea of what they are eating.

Then coat with sprinkles. Nuts, candies, whatever you like. Color coordinating with the party’s theme is always a winner.

Place the dipped sticks on a silpat lined baking tray. Place these in the fridge to set.

I like to bag them up with a ribbon for a nice presentation. The kids love these because….well, let’s face it – pure sugar. These make great favors for a party!
