Chocolate Covered Marshmallows

​I'm not really sure what I am going to do when my kids don't want me to help them make homemade Valentine's anymore.  That is one of my favorite parts about this holiday.  This year, my daughter and I made chocolate covered, heart shaped marshmallows for her to pass out to all of her friends at school. 

​These cute little treats were super simple to make - we made about 24 in under an hour.  (Clean up took longer than expected though because somehow we managed to sprinkle EVERYTHING!)  

My daughter spotted a bag of heart shaped marshmallows in the grocery store several weeks ago and really thought they were something special.  I didn't buy them right away because I really didn't know what to do with a heart shaped marshmallow.  I came across the idea of dipping marshmallows in chocolate on pinterest and I thought they would be even cuter with heart shaped marshmallows.  

​I gathered up all of the supplies:
Lollipop sticks
Bag of Heart Shaped Marshmallows  (half were pink and half were white)
Pink Melting Chocolate 
Valentine Sprinkles
Cellophane Bags
Ribbon

​I started by laying out a piece of waxed paper on my kitchen counter and then inserting a lollipop stick into each marshmallow.  

​We melted our pink chocolate in the microwave.

​We dipped each marshmallow lollipop into the melted chocolate.

​Then came the fun part - sprinkling!  When we finished, no 2 were alike.

​These were some of the cutest Valentines that we have ever made.  They looked really cute gathered up into a little Valentine bouquet too.

​I hope you have a great Valentine's Day.  Remember that you can share this post on your facebook page by clicking the "recommend on facebook" button on the right side of the blog.
