Turtle Dipped Marshmallows Ingredients

To make these delicious Turtle Dipped Marshmallows you will need jumbo marshmallows, Kraft caramels, dark chocolate candy melts, chopped pecans, and lollipop sticks.

How To Make Turtle Dipped Marshmallows

This really isn't a recipe but more of a layering of ingredients.

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place marshmallows on parchment paper and stick one lollipop stick into top of each one.

2. Next you will melt your Kraft caramels in a bowl according to the directions on the bag and let cool slightly.

3. Cover each marshmallow in caramel and let harden on the parchment paper.

4. While the caramel is hardening on the marshmallows, melt the dark chocolate Wilton’s candy melts in a bowl according to package directions.

5. Dip each caramel marshmallow in chocolate.

6. Gently press or roll chopped pecans into the sides of the marshmallows before the chocolate hardens.

7. Set on parchment paper to harden.

You may need to refrigerate dipped marshmallows for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up the marshmallow before decorating. If you don't plan on serving them right away make sure you cover them so the marshmallows don’t get hard.
