Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 30 large marshmallows
  • 16 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 30 lollipop sticks or toothpicks
  • White edible glitter or sanding sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment; insert a lollipop stick or toothpick into each marshmallow and set aside.
  2. Put coconut in a shallow bowl or plate; mix in optional edible glitter for sparkle.
  3. Microwave white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth; stir in vanilla.
  4. Holding sticks, dip marshmallows and turn to coat completely; let excess drip into bowl.
  5. Immediately roll in coconut, pressing gently to cover completely for a snowball effect.
  6. Place on sheet; refrigerate 15-20 minutes until set. Store airtight in refrigerator up to 1 week; serve chilled for best results.
