Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows: Festive and easy Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows. Makes ordinary hot chocolate taste extraordinary!

Does anyone else do this?

Please tell me it’s not just me!

Every year we buy ~~12, 24~~, 48 candy canes to hang on our Christmas tree. However, what the heck should we do with them when Christmas is over?

I love peppermint as much as the next guy, but I’m not one to just sit there and munch a candy cane.

These Peppermint and Chocolate Covered Marshmallows are great for using up mini and large candy canes (or both!).

No special equipment is needed for this recipe. I crushed my candy canes using a rolling pin and a plastic baggie.

Easy Peppermint Chocolate Covered Marshmallows

These peppermint and chocolate covered marshmallows taste amazing in hot chocolate or a nice cup of coffee. They’d also be super cute for holiday hot chocolate bars or buffets.

Instructions

Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Unwrap 24 small candy canes. Crush 12 of them using a plastic baggie and a rolling pin. (A food processor would also work great if you have it!).

Freeze for ~15 minutes.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt candy wafers for 30-45 seconds or until smooth.
Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Place back onto prepared pan. Refrigerate until set.
Stick a large candy cane in the center of each marshmallow for serving if desired.
