chocolate dipped marshmallows
June 10, 2011My cousin, aka the cutest baby in the world, is turning one this week! And she is one lucky girl to have the cutest butterfly birthday bash in the world, organized and planned to perfection by her lovely mom, my amazing aunt!
As a treat for the party, I spent the entire day yesterday – 8 hours straight – standing in the kitchen, dipping dozens of marshmallows in dark chocolate, white chocolate, pink chocolate, butterfly sprinkles, and decorations galore! It definitely trumps the mounds of homework I have to do before my weekend class tonight.
I thought I’d share the pictures from the marshmallow dipping – they make such cute party favors and eye candy on the dessert table!
Aren’t these cute? Be warned though – individually wrapping each marshmallow stick is VERY time-consuming!
Lots of sprinkles and decorations.
More sprinkles.
Here’s my kitchen, pre-dipping.
Lots of marshmallows!
These are three jumbo marshmallows on lollypop sticks, dipped in dark chocolate with rainbow sprinkles!
Here is a close-up. So good!
I also dipped them in pink and white chocolate too! The white with rainbow sprinkles are my favorite.
Lots of pink!
Love these! The all white ones have little frosting flowers on top.
These are five miniature marshmallows on a lollypop stick. I like this marshmallow to chocolate ratio more than the jumbo marshmallows – it’s a little bit less overwhelming to eat in one sitting!
I love these miniature marshmallows!
Miniature marshmallows with chocolate sprinkles – yum!

You are the beat niece ever!!! How sweet of you to help! Happy one year Birthday to your baby cousin! Max is turning one in exactly one month and I am the worst party planner ever!! I am doing a carnival theme and still haven’t even got invitations ahhh!! If you have any ideas I would LOVE to hear 🙂
Thanks so much Lindsay!! How exciting about Max’s first birthday – a carnival theme is SUCH a cute idea! He is such a cute little guy! I’ll give it some thought, I love party planning! 🙂
These look so pretty & fun! Great colors!
You are on nice cousin!! These are so darling and look super yummy!
Oh Star! You’ve really outdone yourself this time. They are sooooo cute and pretty! Your house looks so nice with the white and pink. I saw an idea recently about doing something similar (I think it might’ve been on “1825” blog) about dipping a marshmallow in chocolate, wrapping and adding a line from “Twas the Night Before Christmas” which was “…sugar plums dance in their head”. I had it bookmarked to do this Christmas for my daughter’s school friends. (They get so much candy from other kids, I’m still in two minds.) Love yours though!

These look so, so lovely! Everyone will love them, I’m sure!
Star! You really are the best cousin and niece!!! You truly did outdo yourself! This far exceeds anything I ever imagined! They are going to be such a huge hit! THANK YOU!!!!!

OMG Star…. are you for real? seriously too too too cute. I imagine wrapping all those is time consuming like you said but it’s worth it. this would be fab for a party.
WOW! these chocolate dipped marshmallows are so adorable – i love the sprinkles and the pink flower details! i can’t believe you spent 8 hours dipping and wrapping each one – that’s one lucky 1 year old!!
Very cute! I don’t think I’ve ever seen multiple marshmallows on a stick before… Most parties I’ve seen do just one, with the stick side up. But I think that this is cuter!
ahhh these are SO cute!! your little cousin is lucky to have you 🙂

Hi Star
Thanks for all your lovely comments on my blog. I’m sure you’d have no worries pulling off the beef satay and coconut rice. A girl of your talent!
You know, I handed an ice cream to my daughter and she said “good job Mum”. Made it all worthwhile. I grinned all night.
Have a lovely week Star!

OMG this looks so beautiful. I love everything. What a simple perfect idea.
Wow these are amazing! No wonder it took you 8 hours! You have patience 🙂
I love the idea and they came out so pretty and look like they would taste super good. Love marshmallow and chocolate together. My favorite are the all white with the little frosting flowers on top. So pretty.
Very, very fun!! Dipped marshmallows are my daughter’s favorite treat at the Minnesota State Fair – and these are way more adorable!
