Let’s dip more things in chocolate! Today it’s chocolate covered marshmallows and chocolate covered rice krispy treats. YUM!
This morning I started making cake pops for my daughter to take to her dance studio to celebrate her birthday, and one of her friends happens to have a gluten allergy. So I needed a gluten free alternative to cake pops, and two great options are marshmallows and rice krispy treats. Both can be dipped in chocolate and put on a stick, making them just as fun as a cake pop. And both are EASY! Here’s a step by step how to make chocolate covered marshmallows & rice krispy treats.
Next I set up my “dipping” station…
I like to dip the sticks into the chocolate, than into the marshmallow, and than let them set up prior to dipping the entire marshmallow in chocolate…
And now into the chocolate we go…
For the rice krispy treat, I simply spread the chocolate on the top with a spoon….
A rep from OSHA dropped by to make sure my kitchen was safe…
She is so darn yummy I’m tempted to dip her in chocolate.
Time for sprinkles! But really, when isn’t it time for sprinkles????
I had no idea that the most recent container of pink sanding sugar I purchased had a glitter effect to it. It’s almost like edible fairy dust. Love it!
While it’s hard to tell from the photo, one is sprinkle, one is the pink sanding sugar and one is the actual edible glitter. I think I like the glittery sugar better than the edible glitter.
My almost eight year old approves.
How could you not approve? So stinking cute!
Whatever will I do next week when Valentine’s Day is over and I have to cut back on all the pink???
Enjoy!

Probably a silly question but do marshmellows harden in the fridge? I would assume you would have to store them in the fridge, otherwise the chocholate would melt. Thanks and great site 🙂 🙂

Nellie – I use the chocolate melts or almond bark, which sets back up into a solid after it cools, so you can keep it at room temp. It’s a great product, and you can usually find some variation from it at Walmart or Target in the baking isle.

I just came across this site while searching for pink chocolate covered marshmallows. These are so perfect! And I can only imagine delicious. I’m hoping to make these for my princess’s birthday party in a few weeks. Any thoughts on how far in advance I can make them and best way to store?
LOVE your blog, btw…
Christi says
Mellie – glad you like them. I think you are okay making these up to three days in advance. I usually store mine in either a ziplock or a rubbermaid type container. They are pretty quick to make – that’s a big plus using the marshmallows, just open the bag and go. Good luck, let me know how it goes!

You have some really fun stuff! I wish you had a button; I would add it to my blog. I put them at the bottom of the page and direct my readers to the sites that I like. 🙂
Christi says
DeeAnn, thanks so much! I need to get a button up, thank you for the reminder! 🙂

What wonderful photos you have!! I’m not really a krispie treat fan, but even I want to grab one of those with the sprinkles. Love the shot of your daughter with the marshmallow in a stick, oh how my daughter would love that! Both of my kids frequently request krispie treats and we have done peanut butter and nutella, but never something like this. Maybe as a Valentine treat this weekend! Nicely done…
Denine Regan says
These are very cool. I love that you can whip them up with very little fuss. I will keep this in mind the next time the kids are making me bonkers!
Claire says
How absolutely perfect for Valentine’s day!
