Marshmallow Bonbons
38-40 large marshmallows
1 (12 oz.) package chocolate chips
Coconut
Sprinkles
Nuts, chopped
Place marshmallows on a pan that is covered with wax paper and place in the freezer. They will be ready by the time you need to dip them.
Pour coconut, sprinkles, and nuts on squares of wax paper. You could use a bowl but wax paper saves in clean up.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave for a couple of minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Place frozen marshmallows on skewer or tooth pick and dip in chocolate and then in roll in your choice of ingredients (below).
Use a fork to slide them back on the wax paper. Chill.
Tasty topping ingredients that work well for Marshmallow Bonbons:
Coconut, toasted
Sprinkles
Nuts, crushed
Graham cracker crumbs (like s’mores)
Peppermint sticks, crushed
Candy, crushed
Candy bars, chopped
Dried fruit, chopped
Sweetened cereal, crushed
Once chilled, you can package in clear cellophane bags.

These look yummy. I love marshmallow anything.
I really wish I did not see this recipe. I have already made one batch & have had a lot of them to eat! I plan to make more & try not to eat any for gifts. :0
What’s even better is now they have giant Campfire marshmallows. They are GREAT!
I just saw this recipe in time for some gifts that I will give out on Christmas Eve. I have already sent the home-baked goodies for out-of-town folks, but was puzzled about what to make for these other gifts. Bingo! This is perfect. You say that once they are chilled they can be packaged. How long can they be kept packaged?
If they get totally covered in chocolate they will last several weeks. If you think about these and other candies and cookies they sit on store shelves for a long time often – even the ones which have no preservatives. Candies and cookies really don’t spoil. The most they would do is dry out and get hard if they aren’t properly stored in an air tight container.
I had to call the health department when I started baking my gingerbread men and they said cookies and candies are considered “non – toxic” items which means they can’t get the usual “things” which things like potato salad, meats etc. can.
Another version……use the big marshmallows and dip in melted carmels and roll in rice krispies. We made these when I was little….some 55+ years ago.
Coconut, crushed peppermint and othe rlight colored foots would like very pretty against the chocolate. Additionally the texture of the nuts and graham crackers would too. My sister dips pretzels.
