# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're foolproof enough for a first-timer but fancy enough to gift in a pretty bag.
  • Kids and adults both lose their minds over them, making them perfect for parties or unexpected guests.
  • The whole project takes less than an hour, including chill time, so last-minute dessert emergencies are solved.
02 -
  • Temperature control is everything—chocolate that's too hot will make marshmallows mushy, so let it cool slightly if it looks too thin.
  • Add toppings while the chocolate is still wet, or they'll slide right off like you never tried at all.
03 -
  • Use a fork to gently lower marshmallows into chocolate and twirl it slightly to coat evenly without dunking your hand.
  • If you're making these ahead for an event, store them in the fridge and bring them out about 15 minutes before serving so the chocolate softens just enough to be satisfying to bite through.
