# Expert Advice:
01 -
- These chocolate dipped marshmallows look impressively fancy but secretly take just minutes to make with almost zero chance of messing up.
- They create that perfect moment when the chocolate shell cracks between your teeth before melting into the pillowy marshmallow beneath.
02 -
- If your chocolate begins to harden while dipping, microwave for just 10 seconds and stir again rather than overheating which can make it seize up completely.
- Slightly cool but still fluid chocolate adheres better to marshmallows than very hot chocolate which can actually cause the marshmallow to begin melting.
03 -
- Add a tiny splash of neutral oil like coconut oil to your melting chocolate to create a thinner coating that sets with a beautiful shine and wont crack when bitten.
- Pat your marshmallows with paper towels before dipping if theyre particularly fresh or have been in humidity, as excess moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
