Ingredients to make Chocolate dipper marshmallow candies
- Large marshmallows– You will need regular large marshmallows for this recipe.
- Chocolate– You can use semi sweet chocolate chips for this.
- Coconut oil– The coconut oil helps the chocolate harder a little quicker and form some sort of a shell.
- Toppings, I used chopped pecans, gold sugar, and little golden stars!
Can I make Vegan Chocolate Covered Marshmallows
Absolutely!
To do so just make sure that your marshmallows are vegan certified. I actually like using this brand an it works really well for this recipe too. Check and make sure that the chocolate you are using is vegan as well.

Honestly it can’t get any simpler! When it comes to chocolate covered marhsmallows anyone and their mothers can make them.
If you’ve literally never stepped into the kitchen these can become your go to treat to make for holidays, family events and just to have as a snack at your house.
Below I will share a step by step on how to make this super easy chocolate dipped marshmallow recipe!
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments. This wil ensure that you don’t burn the chocolate. So microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and do it again until it is completely melted.
- Using a skewer, dip one marshmallow at a time in the melted chocolate then pull it out and let it drip for a little bit to get the extra chocolate off.
- Turn the marshmallow up right with the skewer fitting in between the fork tines and gently pull out the skewer.
- Using the skewer slowly and carefully push the marshmallow off the fork and onto the prepared and lined baking sheet.
- Now is the time to decorate the marshmallow. While the chocolate is not completely hard add your desired toppings and let it harden.
See easy breezy! Just like I said!

I would like to make these for my dad but he lives far away and I’d have to mail them do you have any ideas how I could send them they would take 3 days to get to him would they keep until then ?
Chahinez
These would be a little hard to ship. overnight shipping would be the best option.

These turned out perfect. I tried twice this week to make them in a double boiler but believe my chocolate scorched both time and I had to throw all of it away twice. I went in search of another recipe and decided to try yours. It is so easy that you should rename it the No Fail Chocolate Covered Marshmallows.

Chahinez, thank you for replying! You probably should add that info in the recipe because it is only listed in the ingredients but nowhere does the recipe mention when, where, why or how to add the coconut oil.

I think I must be spacing out on something. What is the coconut oil used for? Did I miss seeing that part?
Lifestyle of a Foodie
The coconut oil helps the chocolate harden a little quicker and have a shell like consistency. If you don’t have coconut oil, you could use 1/2 the amount so 1.5 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Hope this helped.
