Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gently breaking off the curved tops of 12 regular-sized candy canes to create sticks. Place the broken tops in a plastic bag and crush them into small peppermint crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Set both the sticks and the crumbs aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Remove and whisk the chocolate until smooth.
- Line a plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Dip the broken end of each candy cane stick about ½ inch into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, press the chocolate-covered end into one side of a marshmallow.
- Transfer the plate of chocolate-dipped marshmallows to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes, or for a quicker option, place them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Once set, dip each marshmallow fully into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl. Carefully roll each coated marshmallow in the crushed peppermint crumbs.
- Return the chocolate-coated marshmallows to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden properly.
- Transfer your Chocolate Marshmallow Peppermint Sticks to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature and will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
