Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallows
December 7, 2012 by Aimee • 31 Comments
I love this time of year, although I may have a different story for you in January when I have to start working out twice a day to take care of December’s fun. Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallows is another must make recipe each Christmas. I’m a huge marshmallow fan, but after being spoiled by these, it’s hard to go back to plain.
I’m telling you this Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallows recipe deserves to be sold in a gourmet kitchen restaurant…and bonus that it’s totally easy.
Crunch the peppermints and chop the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate and then do a little dipping and double dipping until the marshmallow is topped with chocolate and peppermint. So simple, my only friendly advice is to wait a brief moment after dipping the chocolate so it has a chance to firm a bit and hold the peppermints better.
Cover the top and use the bottom to hold…
Or add a skewer and place next to a cup of hot cocoa for a fun winter treat.
- 30 large marshmallows
- 6 Squares of chocolate almond bark
- ½ a bag of peppermints
- Break peppermints into tiny pieces and place in a shallow bowl.
- Chop up almond bark and place in microwave for 60 seconds, stir. Continue for 15 seconds at a time and stir until almond bark is melted.
- Dip one end of the marshmallow into the almond bark, allow to cool for a few seconds, and then dip the chocolate end into the peppermint pieces until nicely coated.
- Set upright and allow to dry.
Oh my goodness….my favorite treats all in one!! Yum!!
These look great! I’m going to do this and put on a stick and wrap in cellophane bags. Thanks for sharing.

I have made these on a lollipop stick, and I used peppermint marshmallows. They are also good with caramel marshmallows dipped in chocolate with crushed nuts on top!
I love chocolate covered marshmallows and the peppermint on these makes them even better! So pretty!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this delicious treat. I hope to try it out soon. Megan
