Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows “Cupcakes”

Fill a medium pot about 1/3 full with water, place a larger glass bowl on top of the pot and bring water to a simmer over medium high heat. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the glass bowl. Place half of the chopped chocolate into the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula to melt the chocolate. Once the chocolate melts, turn off the heat and add the remaining chocolate, stir until the remaining chocolate melts and is smooth. Be patient when melting the chocolate as you don’t want to melt it too quickly and cause the chocolate to burn or seize. This will ensure a pretty and glossy finish on the chocolate.

Keep the glass bowl on the pot, and carefully dip each marshmallow into the chocolate, covering the top half. Place dipped marshmallows onto a cookie sheet, chocolate side up to decorate. Decorate each marshmallow as you like with sprinkles, coconut, nuts, candy or whatever else you desire.

Leave decorated marshmallows on the cookie sheet for the chocolate to set, about 1 to 2 hours. Although they’re great when the chocolate is still warm—messy but delicious! Store in an airtight container.
