Let’s dip more things in chocolate! Today it’s chocolate covered marshmallows and chocolate covered rice krispy treats. YUM!
This morning I started making cake pops for my daughter to take to her dance studio to celebrate her birthday, and one of her friends happens to have a gluten allergy. So I needed a gluten free alternative to cake pops, and two great options are marshmallows and rice krispy treats. Both can be dipped in chocolate and put on a stick, making them just as fun as a cake pop. And both are EASY! Here’s a step by step how to make chocolate covered marshmallows & rice krispy treats.
Next I set up my “dipping” station…
I like to dip the sticks into the chocolate, than into the marshmallow, and than let them set up prior to dipping the entire marshmallow in chocolate…
And now into the chocolate we go…
For the rice krispy treat, I simply spread the chocolate on the top with a spoon….
A rep from OSHA dropped by to make sure my kitchen was safe…
She is so darn yummy I’m tempted to dip her in chocolate.
Time for sprinkles! But really, when isn’t it time for sprinkles????
I had no idea that the most recent container of pink sanding sugar I purchased had a glitter effect to it. It’s almost like edible fairy dust. Love it!
While it’s hard to tell from the photo, one is sprinkle, one is the pink sanding sugar and one is the actual edible glitter. I think I like the glittery sugar better than the edible glitter.
My almost eight year old approves.
How could you not approve? So stinking cute!
Whatever will I do next week when Valentine’s Day is over and I have to cut back on all the pink???
Enjoy!

What a great idea! I am considering this for my daughter’s 6th birthday. And great photos. Congrats on your top 9 on foodbuzz!
These are just too darn cute! :-p Love, Love, LOVE all the pinky-ness going around here. How much fun to get these as a V-day treat!
Congratz on getting at the top 9 , these are really cute .
Thanks so much shabunam, it was a nice surprise to start the day! 🙂
I think this is an economical and chic way to celebrate Valentine day!
Julie – yes! Quick, economical and easy. Can’t beat that. 🙂
Congrats on top 9!!! Well deserved!
Thanks so much Sandra . 🙂
How cute are these!! Perfect for Valentines Day! 🙂 Great photos!
Thanks Christina :).
These are so cute. Wonderful treats.
Just too cute! Definitely would love to do the Marshmallows for Valentines! Great Idea! Thanks 🙂
What a great idea – they are all so pretty, and perfect for a girl’s birthday! I’m wondering what I’ll do next week when I have to stop with the Valentine’s Day recipes… I’ve made far too many of them… but I don’t care, it’s so fun!
I’m not sure about the American Rice Krispies, but I know the Canadian ones have Barley malt + Kelloggs doesn’t have cross contamination standards, which makes them not gluten free. Just wanted to give the heads up, just in case. Great recipe though!!
Thanks Leanne. Yes, I think I’m going a bit overboard on the Valentine’s, but they are so fun and so cute.
Interesting on the difference b/w American and Canadian Rice Krispies. We have three good friends who either have Celiac’s or gluten allergies, and that’s one of the foods they are “okay” with, but I know it’s kind of a sliding scale. My daughter is a nut allergy and I have my okay foods and not okay foods that fall on the “made in a plant…” type of thing. Ah the fun of food allergies!
This is fantastic! So colorful, cute, cool and of course 8 year old approved so it must be delicious! Amazing photos and girls are cute as those sweet treats!
