Description
These little chocolate marshmallow hats are one of those treats that look fancy but are actually super easy to make. They’re messy in the best way, and honestly, the kids tend to sneak more than they decorate.
Ingredients
- 1 pkt mini marshmallow cones (about 30 to 36 cones)
- 1 pkt mini marshmallows (you’ll need 30 to 36 pieces)
- 2 cups white chocolate discs
- Red chocolate powder colouring, as needed
- 2 boxes white hundreds and thousands (sprinkles)
Optional mix-ins:
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 cup coloured popcorn
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1 cup chocolate candies (like Smarties)
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with a bit of water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the 2 cups of white chocolate discs and melt slowly, stirring now and then until smooth.
- Once melted, stir in the red chocolate powder colouring, a little at a time, until you get the shade you like. I usually go a bit deeper red because it looks more festive once set.
- Using a fork, dip each mini marshmallow cone into the red chocolate, turning to coat fully.
- Let the excess drip off, then place onto baking paper. Repeat with all cones.
- Pop the coated cones into the fridge for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Rewarm the chocolate slightly if it’s thickened. Dip just the base of each cone back into the melted chocolate, then immediately roll the base in the white hundreds and thousands to coat.
- Dab a little melted chocolate on the top tip of each cone and press one mini marshmallow (1 per cone) gently on top so it sticks.
- Let everything set again for a few minutes. If your kitchen is warm, back into the fridge they go.
- If you’re making a snack mix, combine the nuts, raisins, coloured popcorn, pretzels, and chocolate candies in a large bowl.
- Drizzle over a bit of melted white chocolate and toss lightly. Once slightly set, gently fold in the finished hats last so they don’t break.
- Spoon into jars or serve right away. They’re a bit delicate, so handle with care.
