03 - Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth; alternatively, melt over simmering water.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They're foolproof enough to make with kids, yet elegant enough to impress at any gathering.
- Five minutes of hands-on time means you can whip up dozens while barely breaking a sweat.
- The contrast between snappy chocolate and pillowy marshmallow is genuinely addictive.
02 -
- Chocolate that's too hot will slide right off the marshmallow; let it cool for a minute after melting so it clings properly.
- Sprinkles must go on while the chocolate is still tacky, or you'll end up picking them off the parchment paper later.
03 -
- Use a fork instead of a stick if you're not confident with the stick method—it gives you better control and looks equally charming.
- Double-dip into dark chocolate first, then milk chocolate for a marbled effect that feels like you've been doing this for years.
