Chocolate Covered Marshmallows
Fluffy moist marshmallows dipped in chocolate, then sprinkled with crushed pretzels and Maldon sea salt…are you drooling yet?
I made these last night, photographed them today, and as I write this blog post all of these delicious Christmas treats are gone. I guess it’s safe to say, this is a winning recipe!
I’ve joined a group of my friends as a part of our Taste of the Season tour to share a decadent list of Christmas treats today! Just scroll down to take a bite, I mean a peek, at what they’ve got cookin.
Christmas treats are even more fun when shared with friends and family, right? Well, they’re delicious when enjoyed in one sitting, but sometimes they’re supposed to be shared with family and friends as a gift.
Chocolate dipped marshmallows are the perfect no-bake holiday sweet to make as a food gift! They’re quick, easy, inexpensive, and delicious! You can even add a jar of homemade hot chocolate to make a great set.
Package them up a jar and use my free printable labels to turn them into a darling little holiday gift!

How to store chocolate covered marshmallows?
Store chocolate covered marshmallows in an airtight container to keep them from drying out. They will last for a month {probably longer, but I promise they won’t last that long if you know what I mean ;)}. Keep them in the refrigerator if desired.
Can chocolate covered marshmallows be frozen?
Chocolate covered marshmallows can be frozen up to two months in an airtight container or bag.
The Recipe
Chocolate Covered Marshmallows (The Easiest Christmas Treats!)
Ingredients
- High-quality chocolate I used 1 bar of dark chocolate
- Marshmallows Store-bought or Homemade
- Pretzels Maldon Sea Salt, or other toppings like Peppermint or SPRINKLES
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler for the best results. Chop or break the chocolate into sugar cube size pieces. Place in a stainless steel or non-reactive glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisk until melted. You may need to add a splash or two of cream to reach your desired consistency. You want it to look like melted chocolate from a fondue fountain.
- Dip each marshmallow in the chocolate and turn until completely covered. Remove from the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place each marshmallow on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Repeat until all mallows are covered.
- Top each marshmallow with crushed pretzels and Maldon sea salt (you could also try peppermint, sprinkles, or crushed nuts). To crush the pretzels (or other toppings), place a handful into a small bag and use the back of a wooden spoon or kitchen mallet to crush.
- Pop the cookie sheet into the freezer for about tan hour to let the chocolate set. Remove and store the chocolate covered marshmallows in an airtight container for up to one month (or place in glass jars to give as gifts!).
