How to Make Christmas Holly Marshmallows
- Melt the chocolate according to package instructions in a microwaveable bowl.
- Lay the marshmallows out on a clean surface, setting them up on parchment paper or wax paper can help with a quick cleanup.
- Dip a small spoon into the melted chocolate and then move your hand quickly but carefully over the marshmallows to drizzle the chocolate in thin ribbons.
- While the chocolate is still soft, set the sprinkles into place, settled into the chocolate so they’ll stay.
- You can then let them rest right there while the chocolate hardens, or you can transfer them to the fridge/freezer to harden faster.
