# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can make a dozen in less time than it takes to argue about what movie to watch.
  • Kids can help without you needing to supervise every second, and they actually stay engaged the whole time.
  • They look expensive and thoughtful, but you'll spend less than ten minutes actively working.
  • You can customize each stick so everyone gets exactly what they want, no compromises.
02 -
  • If your chocolate seizes and turns lumpy, it's usually because water got in—even a tiny drop from steam can ruin it, so keep everything dry.
  • Don't dip marshmallows straight from the fridge or they'll crack the chocolate as it cools; room temperature is best.
  • Toppings stick only while the chocolate is wet, so have everything ready before you start dipping.
03 -
  • Tempering the chocolate isn't necessary here, but if you want a shinier finish and a cleaner snap, look up a quick tempering method.
  • Freeze the finished marshmallows for 10 minutes if you're in a rush, but the texture is better with a slow fridge set.
  • Double the batch and keep half plain in the freezer—they thaw beautifully and make excellent emergency treats.
