Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 large marshmallows
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup sprinkles or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the marshmallows from sticking and to make cleanup easy.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each to ensure a smooth and glossy melted chocolate.
- Dip marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, quickly sprinkle your choice of sprinkles or chopped nuts on top to add color and texture.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to firm up properly.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has set, serve your delicious Chocolate Marshmallow Hearts and enjoy their sweet and crunchy indulgence!
Notes
- You can substitute coconut oil with butter or another neutral oil if preferred.
- Use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to vary flavor.
- Store leftover marshmallow hearts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, use vegan marshmallows and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Allow marshmallows to come to room temperature before dipping to reduce condensation on the chocolate.
