Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Dippers are a fun and festive holiday treat. These are perfect to give to teachers or friends as special homemade gifts.
When one of your kids’ former teachers and now one of your dear friends calls and asks you to make a treat for the rest of the teachers at your kids’ school, you do not turn her down! Oh no, you do not. Simply for two reasons: you need to butter her up because she still will have 4 more of your kids, two of them being Madden and Cannonโฆoh dear, pray for her. Secondly, well she is an educator and it is near Christmas breakโฆneed I say more?!
Earlier in the week, I came across this adorable idea on one of my new friendย Catharine’s blog,ย Our Mini Family. (Check her out, so many cute ideas.)
So I decided to pair this cute marshmallow stick with a packet of hot chocolate, to make a simple treat with some holiday flare that is friendly to your budget. Happy Holidays!
How do you makeย Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Dippers?
-
In a microwave bowl, heat chocolate for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat the process until chocolate has melted. Approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Let it stand while you insert sticks into the marshmallows, pushing them 3/4 of the way into the marshmallow. Make sure not to poke all the way through. Lay out a 9×13 piece of wax paper.
-
Quickly dip the marshmallow into the chocolate, tap on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Dip into sprinkles. Set it top side down onto wax paper.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, place in a candy bag and tie.
-
Place on top of hot chocolate packet and wrap with Christmas ribbon.
Don’t forget to pin this to your favorite Pinterest board to save for later!
