Ingredients:
- 24 Large Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
- 24 Paper Straws or Lollipop Sticks
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp refined coconut oil
- 2 tbsp crushed peppermint candies
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/4 cup toasted sprinkles
Instructions:
- Insert a paper straw into the center of each marshmallow, going about halfway through. Ensure the stick is firm and not wobbly.
- Freeze the skewered marshmallows for 10 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have your toppings ready in small, shallow bowls.
- Combine 12 oz chocolate chips and 2 tsp coconut oil in a glass bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue in 15 second bursts until 90% is melted.
- Stir the chocolate until the last few lumps disappear. This prevents the chocolate from exceeding 110°F.
- Hold the straw and dip the marshmallow into the chocolate, tilting the bowl if needed. Cover at least two thirds of the marshmallow.
- Lift the marshmallow and gently tap your wrist to let the extra chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on the peppermint, sea salt, or toasted sprinkles. Wait about 10 seconds after dipping so the toppings don't slide off.
- Place the sticks upright in a stand or lay them on the parchment paper.
- Place the tray in the fridge for 5 minutes until the shell is hard and matte.
