Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place each marshmallow on a lollipop stick and stand up on the sheet pan. Set your sprinkles out in separate bowls to make it easier to dip after the chocolate.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add half of the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Step 3

Take a marshmallow and dip into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Gently shake the marshmallow to remove excess chocolate. Dip marshmallow into the sprinkles, then set back onto the prepared baking sheet standing up.

Step 4

Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows. If you run out of chocolate, melt the next bag of chocolate chips with the remaining shortening using the same method.

Step 5

Place marshmallows in the refrigerator for 20 minutes while the chocolate sets.
