Tools you will need

  • Skewers or cake pop sticks

  • cooking rack

  • Tea light or candle

  • A ramekin or ceramic bowl

  2. Meanwhile prepare the marshmallow. Insert the skewer into the pink marshmallow and then the white. When the chocolate starts to melt, dip the flat end of a skewer into the chocolate and press the marshmallow to create a smiley face. Use sprinkles to add the nose and buttons, using the melted chocolate as glue.
  3. Dip the marshmallow head in the melted chocolate and then dip in the sprinkles. One of the ways to enjoy chocolate dipped marshmallows is to dip them in a cup of hot milk. You can also enjoy them roasted.

Remarks

1. If you have a low rack use a flashlight. Do not put the tea light directly on a cloth surface. Use a plate instead.

2. Use the leftover melted chocolate to make ganache. Just add a little butter and double cream and mix well. That way it won’t stick to your ramekin when it’s set.
