Marshmallow Party Favors

About

You Will Need (8 things)

Steps (8 steps, 25 minutes)

1. 1

   Pop your Marshmallows on the lollipop sticks, you can get these at any craft store. No luck? Popsicle sticks to the rescue! (Popsicle sticks also look cute with a little ribbon attached to them so they aren't as plain)

2. 2

   Get your double boiler warmed up, I put about half the pot full of water. Bring to a slow boil and throw the chocolate buttons in. Let them warm up about 2-3 minutes(I don't have a double boiler so I used my mixing bowl on top as a variation.)

3. 3

   Give them a stir on and off until they start to get soft and gooey. (can you spot my cat in this picture?)

4. 4

   After it's all nice and liquid like, lightly roll your Mallows through the chocolate and tap the stick on the side of the bowl a little to get off the excess chocolate so it's not super thick. I added some food coloring to it so you can see the chocolate better on the Marshmallow :)

5. 5

   Tap the freshly dipped Mallows into sprinkles lightly, this is why I say to tap off the excess chocolate otherwise you will have huge globs of chocolate in your sprinkles. the picture isn't super clear but you get the idea. :)

6. 6

   Place them on the baking pan covered in wax paper and let cool either in the freezer for 5 minutes or just on their own for about 20 minutes.

7. 7

   After they are cool, you can wrap them in cellophane bags and give them as awesome little party favors. I Used nuts and crushed candy cane as well with milk chocolate for Christmas stocking stuffers.

8. 8

   Voila! and they only took me about 25 minutes from start to finish :)

   Enjoy!
