Chocolate Dipped Marshmallows
(Original recipe by Paula Deen)

Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) package marshmallows

40 thin pretzel sticks

1 (16-ounce) package chocolate-flavored candy coating

Miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces, crushed chocolate-covered toffee bars, miniature semisweet chocolate morsels (I also used Andes mints broken into pieces and Graham cracker crumbs, for that smores taste)

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Insert 1 pretzel stick into bottom of each marshmallow.In a medium bowl, place candy coating. Microwave on High in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until chocolate is melted and smooth (about 11/2 minutes total time). Dip marshmallows in melted chocolate. Immediately roll in desired topping. Place on prepared baking sheet, and let stand 10 minutes.

Makes 40 servings.
