Put on your pearls, lace up those apron strings and get ready to play little Suzie Homemaker, because you won't be spending much time in the kitchen for this one and everyone will adore you for how thoughtful you are for making these charming little candy cane marshmallows.
What cup of cocoa isn't better with marshmallows? These little numbers do their job of melting into your beverage with glee. Seasonably fashionable, simple and adorable - what's not to love?

Chocolate Candy Cane Marshmallows

Ingredients:
24 large marshmallows- 5 regular size candy canes
- 2 oz. chocolate bark
- 2 oz. dark chocolate chips
Preparation:
Place candy canes in a sturdy sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin or mallet.
Place crushed candy canes in a small dish.
Place the chocolates in a small dish and melt, stirring the chocolates together
Dip one end of each marshmallow in the chocolate, then shake it gently to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then press into the crushed candy canes.
Place marshmallows on a wax paper-covered baking sheet and refrigerate briefly, until the chocolate hardens.
Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy on their own or in hot cocoa.
You can serve these candy cane marshmallows on a pretty platter, or if you're giving them as a hostess gift, put them into cellophane bags and tie them up with festive ribbons like I did.

Those are SO cute, what a great idea! I love how only the top of the marshmallow is dipped in chocolate. I'd much rather have one of those marshmallows in my hot chocolate! 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing such a creative idea, I love it.

Theses look great! I think the crunch of the candy contrasting with the fluffiness of the marshmellow would give it a special quality.
Could be a nice little treat for everyone at special Christmas meal.
