01 - 12 large marshmallows
02 - 7 oz (200 g) high-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Optional Toppings

03 - 1/4 cup (40 g) crushed nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts)

07 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate coating is set.
08 - Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're ready in under an hour, making them perfect for last-minute gatherings or surprise gifts.
  • You can customize each one with different toppings, so everyone gets exactly what they crave.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about dunking marshmallows in warm chocolate and watching the coating set.
02 -
  • Don't let your chocolate get too hot, or it'll become thin and runny—low, gentle heat is your friend here.
  • If you forget to add toppings before the chocolate sets, you can press them on afterward with a damp finger, but they won't stick quite as beautifully.
03 -
  • Chill your marshmallows in the freezer for 15 minutes before dipping—cold marshmallows absorb less chocolate and set faster.
  • If your chocolate seizes up during melting, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to bring it back to a silky consistency.
