Years ago I began making these quick treats for company board meetings.  They were always popular then and my children enjoy them now.  My daughter made them tonight for a late night snack for she and her brothers.  Of course, I had to put a limit on how many they all could eat or they would have eaten all of them! 

Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows

Large Marshmallows
Chocolate Chips - Semi-sweet or Milk Chocolate
Toothpicks or sucker sticks
Sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed candy, etc.
Waxed paper

In small bowl, melt desired amount of chocolate chips in microwave.  Be careful not to burn the chocolate chips.  Insert toothpick or lollipop stick into marshmallow.  Dip in melted chocolate and then roll in desired coating.  Allow to dry on waxed paper.

These would be cute made into marshmallow pops by placing a small cello bag over the top and tying them closed with a twisty tie or ribbon. They would make nice party favors or small gifts for friends.
