Rudolph Chocolate Dipped Marshallow
Meet Rudolph in the sweetest way with chocolate-dipped marshmallows filled with fluffy marshmallow crème and crunchy candies. Finished with pretzel antlers, candy eyes, and a shiny red nose, they’re a festive treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat!
- Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Instructions
- Clean the mold and let it air dry.
- Heat up the chocolate melts in the microwave in 30 second intervals until they are completely melted, using a microwave safe bowl.
- Pour small amount of chocolate in each slot of the egg mold. About 1/2 tablespoon. Use the back of a spoon or mini spatula to spread the chocolate around. Do this for each slot and then put the mold in the freezer for 8-10 minutes.
- Next pour more chocolate into each slot one at a time and spread the chocolate around again to create a second layer. This will help make the chocolate shell stronger. Place it back in the freezer for 3-5 minutes.
- Now put some of the mini candy coated chocolates into each chocolate shell. Next use a spoon to add in the marshmallow fluff and put more mini candy coated chocolates on top of the fluff.
- Reheat the chocolate in the bowl for 30 seconds and use it to cover the candy and marshmallow fluff in each slot. Make sure it covers all the possible openings so nothing leaks out. Place the mold in the freezer for 5-8 minutes.
- Put the remaining chocolate in a piping bag.
- Take the mold to the freezer and place it on a flat surface. Slow and gently push the chocolate marshmallows out of the mold.
- Break each pretzel bow in half. These will be the antlers.
- Cut a small hole on the tip of the piping bag and pipe a small circle at the top of the wider end of the chocolate covered marshmallow. Place 1 half of the pretzel on the chocolate circle and hold it there until it sticks. Pipe more chocolate around the pretzel to make sure it stays in place. Do the same for the 2 second half of the pretzel bow. Then continue to put antlers on each chocolate Rudolph following the same steps.
- Pipe two small dots below the antlers and place an eyeball sprinkle on each one. Let them sit fore 1 minute to dry.
- Pipe one more dot below the eyes and place the red candy coated chocolate on it, this will be Rudolph’s red nose.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- These Rudolph Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows are best eaten fresh but they can be stored in air tight container in a cool dry place for 2-3 days or in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- When applying the antlers, make sure the chocolate is warm and NOT hot. Hot chocolate can melt the shell and it will take longer for the pretzel antlers to stick.
- To get the marshmallow fluff in the chocolate shells easier, put some butter on the spoon before scooping. The fluff will be less sticky and easier to manage.
