Sweet Treats

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

Sarah

This is such a quick and easy treat, and by quick and easy I mean less than 20 minutes from start to finish! Hallelujah! If you have little ones, this is a great activity for them to help with. Our 4-year-old helped me the entire time, and halfway through she screamed, “this is the best day ever!” She wasn’t lying – it’s hard to have a bad day when you’re dipping giant marshmallows in melted chocolate and decorating them with sprinkles. And of course you have to sample the finished product to make sure they are tasty enough, and sampling sweets has never made anyone sad.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. cover a baking sheet with wax paper
  2. melt the candy wafers, and stir until the chocolate is smooth
  3. dip the marshmallows halfway into the bowl of melted chocolate
  4. hold the chocolate dipped marshmallows over a bowl while sprinkling the sprinkles over the marshmallows
  5. set the marshmallows, chocolate side up, on the wax covered baking sheet
  6. once you have finished dipping/decorating all of the marshmallows, set the baking sheet in the fridge so that the chocolate will harden faster
  7. after the chocolate has hardened, store the marshmallows in an airtight container to keep them fresh

These make an adorable little gift for friends, neighbors, and teachers, and they also make super fun party favors for your child’s birthday party.

When gifting these goodies, I like to drop one marshmallow in a little cellophane bag, and tie it with some cute ribbon. Instant cute yumminess!

Sweet Treats

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods

Sarah

These chocolate covered pretzels are sweet, salty, and 1000% delicious! My girls and I decided to make these bright and colorful for spring, but you could make them festive for any holiday or occasion by changing out the sprinkles or using colored candy melts.

Ingredients:

  • pretzel rods
  • chocolate chips/bars or candy melts (like these)
  • sprinkles or other toppings
  • wax paper
  • *optional* a tall glass/container to put the melted chocolate in, to make dipping easier

Directions:

  1. melt the chocolate or candy melts
  2. pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass or mason jar to make dipping easier
  3. dip a pretzel rod into the melted chocolate
  4. lay the chocolate covered pretzels on a piece of wax paper
  5. decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, candies, nuts, etc
  6. leave the chocolate covered pretzels out until the chocolate has time to set up

If you have little ones, this is the perfect sweet treat for them to help you make. I received a lot of “help” from my girls with these. Sure, their help resulted in some less than perfect chocolate covered pretzels, but they still turned out cute, they taste delicious, and we had a blast. I’d call that a win!

Once the chocolate has hardened, you can store the pretzels in an airtight bag, and they should last about 2-3 weeks. If you don’t store them in an airtight container/bag they will become stale.

These make a cute and yummy gift for anyone. Just stick a few in a little treat bag, and tie with a cute ribbon!
