4th of July Desserts: Tri-Color Patriotic Marshmallow Directions
- In a microwave safe dish start by melting the red candy melts in 30 second increments. Stir after every 30 seconds and continue to microwave until melted. Let cool 2-3 minutes before dipping the marshmallows.
- Once the red chocolate is cooled, take one marshmallow at a time and dip ¼ of it into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip into the bowl and sprinkle with Patriotic sprinkles. Flip the marshmallow over and stand up on a plate to set. Repeat this step with the other marshmallows.
