3-Ingredient Chocolate Sprinkle Marshmallows are the sweetest little treat to make your dessert table pop! These fluffy marshmallows get a quick dip in rich melted chocolate, then a generous shake of white sprinkles for a touch of crunch and sparkle.
Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, making classroom treats, or just need something fast and festive, these marshmallow bites are as easy as they are adorable. They’re ready in minutes and completely no-bake—making them a go-to option for parties, gifts, or cozy nights in.
Fun fact: Marshmallows have been around for thousands of years! While today’s version is mostly sugar and air, ancient Egyptians made them from the sap of the mallow plant. Now they’re fluffy and fun—and even more irresistible with a chocolate twist.
So grab your skewers, melt some chocolate, and turn your plain mallows into party-ready treats in no time. Because sometimes the most fun desserts are also the easiest!
Recipe Yield: 12 marshmallows
INGREDIENTS
12 large marshmallows
6 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp white sprinkles (nonpareils or jimmies)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Melt the chocolate:
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Dip the marshmallows:
Use a skewer or fork to dip each marshmallow about halfway into the melted chocolate. Gently swirl to coat and tap off the excess.
3. Decorate and set:
While the chocolate is still wet, generously add the white sprinkles over the top. Place each marshmallow on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use High-Quality Chocolate:
Skip the low-grade chocolate chips and go for baking chocolate or premium chips—this melts smoother and tastes richer. - Decorate Fast:
Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still tacky or they won’t stick. Work with one marshmallow at a time for best results. - Switch Up the Sprinkles:
Try colorful jimmies, crushed candy cane, or edible glitter to match holidays or party themes while keeping the 3-ingredient base intact.
