Here’s another dessert you can serve at your Christmas party. But I think I’ll leave these out for Santa! These are easier to make than they look and they taste so yummy.
Ingredients: regular sized marshmallows, caramel (homemade or pre-bought), chocolate, crushed candy canes (optional), sucker sticks
Directions: Make or melt your caramel. I use a double boiler on the stove top to melt caramel. While you are waiting for the caramel to melt, stick a sucker stick into the marshmallows. Set out a sheet of parchment or wax paper or the new non-stick aluminum foil. Once the caramel is melted dip each marshmallow into the caramel, covering completely. Place each dipped marshmallow onto the parchment or whatever you’re using. Allow the caramel marshmallows to cool completely. You can crush your candy canes now, if you haven’t already. Once cooled (this can take up to a half an hour) melt the chocolate. You can do this in a double boiler on the stove top or in the microwave. Dip each marshmallow into the chocolate 2/3 of the way then immediately roll the ends in crushed candy canes. Let cool on the parchment, wax paper or non-stick aluminum foil.

I can’t wait to try these…so festive. I think I’ll make them for our Christmas party on Saturday & as gifts for co-workers.
Thanks for the great idea!

So Adorable, can you make ahead and freeze or Refrigerate?
Hi Jen–You can make these ahead of time, but I’ve never refrigerated or frozen them. They keep just fine for a few days. Although sometimes the chocolate doesn’t look as fresh.
Is there a special type of caramel to use? Or just wrapped ones from the store that you melt? Do you have to wait for the caramel to cool a bit so the marshmallow doesn’t melt? Can’t wait to try!
Hi Alison–My mom uses this caramel http://bit.ly/gy9sl3 but you can use the little wrapped ones if you want. No, the caramel needs to be good and melted in order to dip those marshmallows. They seem to hold up just fine.
Yum!!!! Gonna try these babies this weekend!
I’ve made these with chocolate and graham cracker crumbs; I LOVE this approach!
These are TOO CUTE! I am going to make them tonight! Great IDEA!!!
Love Love Love this!!! I will be putting in all my daughters gift basket for their teachers for the holidays. I loved this so much it is my new thing for the day!!
Wondering where you got those lovely milk bottles? Love this post.
OH my gosh, I made these last night and yummmmmmmo…love them ! Thanks for sharing this idea and have a very Merry Christmas!
Great idea and to make this even easier you can purchase the peppermint already crushed at HEB. This is the first time I have seen that available.
I did not read any of the comments, sorry, but how about instead of dipping the marshmallows into peppermint candy how about graham crackers.
Take care! JS
Hi JS–Of course you can dip the marshmallows into anything. I only used peppermint candy because it was Christmas time. I think graham crackers would be yummy.
I tried making these today for neighbor gifts. Not sure what I did wrong, but the carmel melted the marshmallows and it was a big mess. I then dipped marshmallows in chocolate followed by crushed Andes peppermint chocolate bits. Still looked cute and tasted great!
Hi Bethany–Uh oh. I don’ t know what you did wrong either. I guess your caramel was too hot. But I’m glad the chocolate worked! xo
Is the chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips?
Hi Robyn–the chocolate is Hershey chocolate bars or chocolate chips. But you could try chocolate almond bark… xo B
